2011 Map of Horse Shoe

About this map

The French Broad River snakes through this Henderson County landscape, defining the character of the Horse Shoe community. Long-established family legacies are evident in the numerous burial grounds, including the Mill Pond Cemetery, Beulah Cemetery, and Justus Cemetery. The region's agricultural and early industrial history is anchored by the Forge Mountain Grist Mill near Boylston, while more modern institutional footprints include the State Prison Camp Number 124. Residential pockets like Etowah and Woodland Hills contrast with the rugged terrain of the Drysdale Hills and Jumpoff Mountain. This survey also documents prominent recreational sites, from Camp Osceola in the north to Camp Kanuga and Camp Tekoa in the south, illustrating the area's transition into a destination for summer camps and parks like Indian Cave Park.
