The Swannanoa River valley serves as the central artery of this region, where the Southern Ry and U.S. Hwy 70 parallel the water through the settlements of Swannanoa and Azalea. The landscape is defined by the steep transition from these low-lying transit corridors to the Swannanoa Mountains and the winding Blue Ridge Parkway to the north and west. Educational and institutional life is anchored by Warren Wilson College and the large Veterans Administration Hospital complex near Oteen.
