2011 Map of Lake Toxaway

About this map

Lake Toxaway and the surrounding high-elevation basins of the Blue Ridge define this portion of Transylvania County. The landscape is a complex of significant peaks like Toxaway Mountain and Panthertail Mountain, which overlook the headwaters of the Toxaway River and the West Fork French Broad River. Residential and recreational development is clustered around the lake's shoreline, marked by private drives such as W Shore Ln and N Club Dr, while the northern reaches remain dominated by ridges and gaps like Tanasee Gap and Owens Gap. The presence of Owens Cemetery and McCall Cemetery near Glassmine Mountain provides important focal points for genealogists researching family history in this corner of the state. Small settlements such as Quebec and Canaan anchor the outlying areas, connected by narrow mountain roads like Richland Creek Rd and Silverstein Rd.
