2010 Map of Jefferson

About this map

Mount Jefferson and Phoenix Mountain dominate this part of Ashe County, where the north and south forks of the New River carve deep paths through the high country. In the early 21st century, the neighboring towns of Jefferson and West Jefferson serve as the commercial and civic hubs of the region, surrounded by a network of rural settlements such as Bina, Smethport, and Shatley Springs. The landscape is characterized by the winding courses of Naked Creek, Beaver Creek, and Piney Creek, which flow toward the river forks. Modern infrastructure is evident in the Ashe County Airport and the development of Panther Den Est. For those tracing local history, the map identifies small landmarks and gathering places like Luther Overlook and Ashelawn Memorial Gardens, as well as river access points such as the Wagoner Road Access along the South Fork New River.
