2014 Map of Standingstone Mountain

About this map

Standingstone Mtn anchors this mountainous boundary zone where the Tennessee Valley Divide snakes across the border of Henderson and Transylvania counties in North Carolina and Greenville County in South Carolina. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief and significant water features, including the notable Hooker Falls and Triple Falls along the Little River. In the northern reaches, the Crab Cr valley supports the settlement of Jeter Mountain Terrace, while the southern slopes descend toward River Falls and the headwaters of the Middle Saluda River. For researchers of local heritage, the map identifies specific landmarks like St Francis Chapel and family-named sites such as Thomas Cem and Vardry McBee Rock, providing a clear look at how human presence has long negotiated the gaps and ridges of this high-elevation terrain.
