2019 Map of Sylva South

About this map

Cullowhee and the Tuckasegee River valley dominate this landscape, which is defined by the sharp vertical relief of the Great Balsam Mountains. The map highlights the interplay between the riverside settlements of Sylva, Webster, and Dillsboro and the surrounding high-elevation gaps and knobs. Distinctive features like the Jackson County Airport on Berry Mtn and Fairview Memorial Gardens near Love Field serve as local landmarks. The eastern portion of the map is heavily forested, containing a large expanse of the Nantahala National Forest and numerous named ridges such as Rocky Face Ridge and Carver Ridge. This 2019 data presents a modern view of traditional Blue Ridge communities, where development follows the winding paths of Cullowhee Cr and Savannah Cr.
