2013 Map of Greens Creek

About this map

The Tuckasegee River anchors the northeastern corner of this map, winding past the historic settlement of Dillsboro. The terrain is defined by a series of significant mountain ridges and gaps, including Cowee Bald, where the Cowee Fire Tower stands as a notable landmark overlooking the surrounding peaks. This area in Jackson County displays a dispersed settlement pattern characteristic of the southern Appalachians, with small communities like Greens Creek, Savannah, and Pumpkintown established along the narrow creek valleys and gaps.
