2013 Map of Tuckasegee

About this map

Tuckasegee and the winding Tuckasegee River anchor this mountain landscape, which is defined by a dense network of ridges, gaps, and family-named knobs. The settlement of Argura lies to the east, connected by winding mountain roads like Dodgen Ridge Rd, while the prehistoric Judaculla Rock stands as a significant landmark near Cowarts. The geography here is marked by steep elevation changes, moving from the waters of Cedar Cliff Lake to high peaks such as Brasstown Knob and Rich Mountain. Local hydrology is intricate, with numerous small waterways like Caney Fork and Sols Cr cutting through the terrain between points like Polly Middleton Gap and Sam Queen Gap. The map illustrates a contemporary rural mountain community where secondary state roads like State Rd 1748 and State Rd 1752 follow the contours of the land, linking isolated peaks and springs such as Cedar Valley Spring.
