About this map

The Watauga River meanders through a landscape of sharp ridges and deep valleys in this 2013 survey of the High Country. The settlement of Valle Crucis sits at the junction of Dutch Cr and the river, anchored by a network of rural roads such as Dutch Creek Rd and Burl Watson Rd. To the west, the map details the higher elevations surrounding Beech Mountain and the headwaters of the Elk River, where steep terrain is marked by features like Rocky Knob and Hanging Rock.

Modern residential development and seasonal recreation are evident in the footprints of Banner Elk, Seven Devils, and the Sugar Mountain area. Local history and genealogy interest is found in the scattered mountain communities of Rominger, Matney, and Foscoe. The map also identifies specific local landmarks like Broadstone Lodge and several small water bodies including Rosasco Lake Upper and Different Drum Lake.
