2016 Map of Peachtree

About this map

Brasstown and Peachtree anchor this detailed study of the southwestern North Carolina mountains where the Hiwassee River and Valley River converge. The landscape is defined by its deep coves and bottomlands, such as Harshaw Bottom and Suddawig Bottom, which historically provided the primary arable land for local families. This 2016 survey documents a network of rural routes and family landmarks, including Ferguson Cem and Mc Guire Cem, alongside mid-century infrastructure like the Shallow Ford Bridge. Educational growth is represented by the Tri-County Community Coll, while the periphery remains under the canopy of the Nantahala National Forest. The map traces numerous tributaries like Peachtree Cr and Slow Cr that once powered local industry, as evidenced by the namesake sites of Arrwood Mill and Jones Mill.
