2011 Map of Tuskeegee

About this map

Tuskeegee and the settlement of Proctor are situated within a landscape defined by the expansive waters of Fontana Lake. This 2011 survey illustrates how the lake’s irregular shoreline winds through deep mountain coves like Coot Cove and Cable Cove, isolating various ridges and branches. The geography is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds, including the Mitchell Cemetery, Welch Cemetery, and Pilkey Cemetery, which serve as critical markers of the local genealogy. High points such as The Pinnacle and Welch Bald overlook a complex network of waterways, from Hazel Creek to the South Fork Tuskeegee Creek. The presence of roads like Lower Sawyers Creek RD and Stecoah Heights RD shows the modern infrastructure connecting these mountain communities, while numerous small branches and hollows, such as Walnut Hollow and Possum Hollow, indicate the long-standing agricultural and residential patterns of this part of Graham County.
