2019 Map of Micaville

About this map

The South Toe River and North Toe River carve through the mountain terrain of this Mitchell and Yancey County borderland. Centered on the settlement of Micaville, the map illustrates a landscape shaped by both the timber resources of the Pisgah National Forest and a legacy of local extraction, evidenced by landmarks such as Mine Knob and Mine Br. Small communities like Bandana, Lunday, and Newdale are connected by a network of winding roads including State Rd 1311 and State Rd 1002. The map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting numerous family burial sites such as Hensley Cem, Wyatt Cem, and Rebels Creek Cem. From the heights of Sevenmile Ridge to the valley floors, the distribution of these cemeteries and small church congregations like Big Crabtree Church reflects the scattered settlement patterns of these Appalachian highlands.
