About this map

The New River and the waters of Claytor Lake define the western edge of this 2013 survey, where the river winds through a terrain of high knobs and ridges. The settlement of Hiwassee serves as a central point for a landscape marked by small riverside communities like Allisonia and Tinytown. This area of Pulaski County retains a mountain character, with peaks such as Stony Mountain and Irish Mountain rising above the winding creek beds.

Evidence of historical resource extraction is found in place names like Ore Knob and Rustin Hollow, while the more recent recreational and youth-focused development is seen at Lake Powhatan and Powhatan Camp. The transportation network is a mix of state routes and older local paths like Eanes Ferry Rd and Boone Furnace Rd, reflecting the long history of crossing the rugged terrain between Mack Creek Village and the river forks.
