About this map

Lake Lure and its namesake town sit at the heart of this mountain landscape, where the Broad River flows through the prominent Hickory Nut Gorge. This 2013 survey records the modern development patterns of recreational and residential communities like Fairfield Mountains, Deerfield, and Riverbend that have grown around the water. The map traces the varied terrain of the Blue Ridge foothills, from the heights of Rumbling Bald Mountain and Shumont Mountain down to the gap at Chimney Rock.

Institutional landmarks including Camp Lurecrest and Camp Occoneechee are documented alongside older place names such as Uree and Poplar Grove. The layout of the Lake Lure Municipal Golf Course and the network of roads, including Old Apple Wagon Rd and Hickory Nut Rd, reflect the region's long transition from a mountain passage at Hickorynut Gap to a premier destination for seasonal residents and outdoor enthusiasts.
