About this map

Tumblerville and the small settlements of Fulchertown and Lickskillet anchor this mountainous region of the Blue Ridge, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of gaps, knobs, and ridges. The map records the persistence of local industry and heritage through features like Watkins Mill and Middle Creek Mill, alongside evidence of historical extraction at a Gold Mine near California Ridge.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous family-named landmarks and burial sites, including Watkins Cemetery, Stiles Cemetery, and Mc Connell Cemetery. The terrain is drained by numerous watercourses such as Tessentee Creek and the Cullasaja River, which are managed in parts by infrastructure like the Lake Charles Dam and the R C Balfour-Lower Dam. This survey documents the complex topography of North Carolina’s high country, from the heights of George Gray Mountain to the depths of Poplar Cove.
