About this map

Smokemont and Ravensford sit at the center of this mountain landscape where the Oconaluftee River meets Bradley Fork and Raven Fork. This terrain is defined by a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Slave Cemetery, Bradley Cemetery, and Husky Cemetery, offering significant genealogical data for those researching the region's early residents. The geography is characterized by prominent heights like Mount Noble and Richland Mountain, alongside specific topographical landmarks such as The Gorges and Tuskee Gap. Infrastructure is marked by the winding route of the Blue Ridge Pkwy, which navigates the ridges through the Rattlesnake Mountain Tunnel and Sherrill Cove Tunnel. The map also identifies numerous overlooks, such as the Ballhoot Scar Overlook, providing specific points of interest within the protected parklands.
