About this map

Sugar Hill sits at the center of this mountain landscape where the Second Broad River and its various tributaries, including Hicks Br and Wilson Br, carve through the complex terrain of the Blue Ridge foothills. The map documents a rural community defined by its topography, with numerous family-named peaks and ridges such as Harris Mtn, Piney Mtn, and Elliot Mtn shaping the movement of roads and water.

Genealogists and local historians can locate long-standing community hubs like Montford Cove Church/Cem and Welcome Home Church Cem. The settlement of Whitehouse is situated near the McDowell Co Rutherford Co line, illustrating the area's jurisdictional boundaries. The historic transportation corridor of Old Fort-Sugar Hill Rd provides primary access through the region, connecting the small clusters of homes and churches across the gaps and ridges like Wildcat Gap and Painters Gap.
