About this map

French Broad River carves a deep valley through the heart of this landscape, separating the high ridges of Neddy Mtn and Yellow Springs Mtn. The terrain is defined by its steep gaps and hollows, including Pigeonroost Gap and Morgan Gap, which historically dictated the flow of travel between the riverside settlements. In the south, the Cherokee National Forest encompasses massive elevations like Sol Messer Mtn and Messer Mtn.

Family history is preserved in several small cemeteries such as Faubion Cem and McNabb Cem, while the location of Click Mill on Lick Br points to the early industrial importance of the region's mountain streams. Larger communities like Parrottsville and Del Rio anchor the transport network, connected by historical routes like Old River Rd and Old Fifteenth Rd that trace the difficult contours of the Meadow Creek Mountains.
