2019 Map of Moffitt Hill

About this map

Old Fort sits at the northern edge of this terrain where the Catawba River begins its descent through the Blue Ridge foothills. The landscape is defined by a dense network of high ridges and narrow coves, including Allison Cove and Padgett Cove, which historically dictated the placement of small mountain communities. Settlements like Moffitt Hill, Davistown, and Lackey Town are tucked between prominent heights such as Wildcat Knob and Major Mtn. For those tracing local families, the map identifies key burial sites including Pine Cove Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem. Much of the western portion falls within the protected boundaries of the Pisgah National Forest, preserving a rugged topography where numerous small waterways like Youngs Fork Cr and Little Crooked Cr carve out the steep-walled gaps.
