2019 Map of Spring Creek

About this map

Hot Springs and the surrounding reaches of the Pisgah National Forest define this landscape along the French Broad River. This 2019 survey captures a complex network of small mountain settlements and family cemeteries including Lunceford Cem, Treadway Cem, and Brooks Cem. The terrain is marked by prominent ridges and gaps, such as Troublesome Gap and Bearwallow Gap, which dictated the early road patterns of Madison County. The area’s geography is shaped by numerous watercourses like Big Pine Cr and Meadow Fork, which supported isolated communities like Big Pine and Worley. For those researching local lineages, the map provides precise locations for remote burying grounds like Crooked Ridge Cem and Hagen Cem, often situated near older home sites and landmarks such as House Rock or Stony Spur Cliff.
