2019 Map of Marshall

About this map

Marshall serves as a focal point along the winding French Broad River, where the town’s core sits adjacent to Blennerhassett Island. This Madison County landscape is defined by its deep ridges and gaps, with the western edge of the quadrangle protected by the Pisgah National Forest. The map documents a scattered settlement pattern through smaller communities like Walnut, Redmon, and Rollins, which are connected by a network of local roads that follow the river valley and narrow mountain gaps. Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous family burial sites, including the McDevitt Cem, Henderson Cem, and Tillery Cem. High elevations are marked by distinctive peaks such as Barnard Knob and Sevenmile Ridge, framing the corridor of the French Broad as it makes its sharp northwesterly turn toward the Tennessee border.
