2016 Map of Robbinsville

About this map

Robbinsville serves as the central hub of this mountain landscape, situated at the junction of the Rodney Orr Bypass and Sweetwater Rd. Within the Nantahala National Forest, the terrain is defined by the high ridges of the Cheoah Mountains and Snowbird Mountains, reaching a high point at Teyahalee Bald. The map documents the area's industrial and family history through features like the Massey Quarry, a Gold Pit, and the Payne Sawmill, alongside several legacy burial grounds such as West Buffalo Cem and Rice Cem. To the northwest, the fingers of Lake Santeetlah reach into the valleys, while the Cherohala Skyway traverses the gaps. This 2016 survey illustrates a modern mountain community where timber and recreation roots intersect with old family landholdings like Holloway Cem and Massey Cem.
