2010 Map of Sugar Hill

About this map

The Sugar Hill community and the settlement of Whitehouse anchor this high-elevation terrain in the North Carolina Blue Ridge foothills. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Second Broad River and numerous drainages like Cove Creek and Morgan Creek that carve through a complex series of peaks and gaps. The area's topography is notably rugged, rising to heights at Hickorynut Mountain, Morgan Mountain, and Pinnacle Mountain. Small-scale agricultural and rural developments are evident along the valley floors, connected by roads such as Sugar Hill Rd and Old Fort Sugar Hill Rd. Local history is rooted in family landmarks and small community sites, including the Lawing Cemetery and the WW Jones Dam on the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The map captures a moment when the rural character of the region remained dominant, with scattered residential clusters situated between steep ridges like Ledbetter Ridge and Bailey Ridge.
