About this map

The residential development at Jeter Mountain Terrace represents one of the primary named settlements in this densely forested region along the North Carolina and South Carolina border. Surveyed by the Tennessee Valley Authority and the Geological Survey in the mid-1960s, the terrain is defined by the high ridges and deep forks that separate the Green River and Saluda River basins. The landscape reflects a transitional era where traditional mountain land-use patterns were beginning to incorporate organized residential terraces and camps amidst the steep slopes. Researchers of local geography can trace the intricate network of peaks and drainage patterns that historically dictated the movement of people and the placement of small mountain communities in this part of Henderson County.
