About this map

Nantahala National Forest blankets this corner of Macon County, where the southern Appalachian landscape is defined by high ridges and deep gaps. Settlement patterns follow the winding watercourses, with small communities like Lickskillet and Fulchertown established near the many branches and creeks. Local industry and history are anchored by Watkins Mill near The Flats, while the area's genealogical roots are preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, including Mc Connell Cem and Mount Moriah Cem.
