2013 Map of Maple Springs

About this map

Blue Ridge Pkwy winds across the high northern ridges of this Wilkes County landscape, passing through Jeffress Park and offering scenic vistas at Thomkins Knob Overlook and Cascade Overlook. The terrain is defined by a series of steep ridges including Husons Ridge and Ivy Point Ridge, with water flowing down towards the valley settlements. Along the central corridor, the S Prong Lewis Fork is crossed by the NC-1389 Wade Harris Bridge near the community of Harley. In the western portion of the map, the headwaters of Stony Fork and its tributaries like Flowers Br carve deep valleys between peaks such as Wolf Knob and Chestnut Mountain. The map illustrates a rural network of roads connecting small settlements like Mount Zion and Maple Springs, reflecting a landscape dominated by its high-altitude topography and watercourses.
