2019 Map of Sherwood

About this map

The Stone Mountains and State Line Ridge form a natural border between North Carolina and Tennessee, defining the high-elevation landscape of Watauga and Johnson counties. This topographic study captures a network of small mountain communities linked by winding roads such as Mill Creek Rd and Dillard Greene Rd. Settlements like Sugar Grove, Sweetwater, and Amantha are situated along the fertile valleys of Cove Creek and its many tributaries, including Beaverdam Creek and Phillips Branch. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, documenting numerous family and community burial grounds such as Cove Creek Cem, Henson Chapel Cem, and Ford Cem. The presence of Cherokee National Forest and Pisgah National Forest highlights the protected status of the timber and terrain surrounding landmarks like The Bald and Buckeye Knob.
