About this map

Stewart Cabin and Wilson Cabin sit deep within the Nantahala National Forest, marking a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and high mountain peaks. This 2013 survey reveals the rugged geography of Graham County, where Santeetlah Lake and its numerous coves, such as Farley Cove, dominate the northeast. The terrain is a network of named ridges and knobs, including Firescald Ridge and Huckleberry Knob, which are drained by a complex system of waterways like Santeetlah Creek and Snowbird Creek.

Settlement is sparse, represented by small clusters at Junction, McGuires, and Dentons. Local landmarks such as Tecoatlah 364, 482 Land Tract reflect the historical land divisions and local place names of the Blue Ridge. Recreational infrastructure is prominent through sites like the Joyce Kilmer Picnic Area and Horse Cove Campground, indicating the area's modern role as a protected wilderness destination.
