Richland Balsam and the Great Balsam Mountains anchor this high-elevation survey of the southern Appalachian range. The landscape is defined by its dramatic crests and gaps, where the Blue Ridge Parkway winds through the topography, passing the notable Devil's Courthouse Tunnel near the rocky outcrop of Devil's Courthouse. This region serves as a significant hydrological divide, giving rise to numerous headwaters including the West Fork Pigeon River and Tanasee Cr.
