2013 Map of Highlands

About this map

The town of Highlands sits at the center of this high-altitude landscape, where the Cullasaja River flows through a series of significant lakes including Lake Sequoyah, Mirror Lake, and Harris Lake. The 2013 survey illustrates a complex network of residential development winding through the ridges, contrasted with the protected natural features of the surrounding national forest lands. Local landmarks like Bridal Veil Falls and Dry Falls characterize the dramatic descent of the local waterways, while the Big Creek Bridge serves as a key crossing point in the north. To the east, the map detail extends to Horse Cove and the various ridges of the Blue Ridge Mountains, including Billy Cabin Ridge and Shortoff Mountain. This edition captures the established character of this mountain community, showing the density of named residential roads such as Mirrormont Dr and Hickory Hill Rd alongside recreational points like Vanhook Glade Campground.
