About this map

The French Broad River serves as the central artery for this portion of Transylvania County, winding through Rosman and past the small communities of Calvert and Cherryfield. This mountain landscape is dominated by the sprawling reaches of the Pisgah National Forest, which covers significant territory to the north and west. High elevations like Tarkiln Mtn and Brushy Mtn define the drainage basins of Catheys Creek and Kuykendall Creek.

Local heritage is anchored by sites such as the Whitmire Cemetery and Gillespie Cemetery near Powelltown. The area features several notable water bodies including Lake Wanteska and the Brevard Music Center Lake in the northeast. Residential growth is evident along corridors like Walnut Hollow Road, while the transition from forest to settled valley is marked by landmarks such as Bunker Hill and Graveyard Hill.
