The Pisgah National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, where the terrain rises toward Miller Mtn and is dissected by the headwaters of Roses Creek and Steels Creek. This area is defined by its dramatic transition from the protected forest highlands down to the settled valleys of Burke County. To the south, the waters of Lake James and the Linville River mark the low-lying basin where human settlement is most concentrated near Glen Alpine.
