2000 Map of Robbinsville

About this map

Robbinsville serves as the focal point of this Graham County landscape, situated at the junction of Tulula Creek and Sweetwater Creek. The settlement pattern follows the valley floor, with Milltown and several small community centers established along the watercourses and roads leading into the Cheoah Mountains. A significant cultural landmark is the Zion Hill Ch Snowbird Cherokee Indian Sch, which points to the area's heritage as part of the land tracts belonging to the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. The western portion of the map is dominated by the intricate shoreline of Santeetlah Lake, where fingers of water extend into the Nantahala National Forest. Higher elevations like Teyahalee Bald overlook a terrain defined by named gaps and ridges, including Snowbird Gap and Atoah Gap, which historically dictated the movement of people and goods through this section of the Snowbird Mountains.
