2016 Map of Greystone

About this map

Water Fork Mill and Hampton Mill sit among the northern slopes of the Bald Mountains, marking the historic water-powered industry of this Greene County landscape. The settlement of Bethany is located along the western edge of the quadrangle, while Greystone lies further north near Mountain View Cem. This area is defined by the high-elevation boundary between Tennessee and North Carolina, where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail traverses prominent geological features like Blackstack Cliffs and Whiterock Cliff. The map illustrates a transition from the lower agricultural and residential lands near Mount Tabor Cem to the protected wilderness of the Cherokee National Forest and Pisgah National Forest, documenting the intricate network of spring-fed creeks and mountain ridges that have shaped local travel and settlement patterns.
