About this map

Waynesville serves as the focal point of this topographic study, situated where Richland Creek meets the surrounding high-elevation coves. The landscape is defined by the steep rises of the Blue Ridge, including Ratcliff Mountain and the prominent Lickstone Bald. To the south, the West Fork Pigeon River flows through a series of narrow valleys, feeding into Lake Logan, which is contained by the Lake Logan Dam.

The presence of Sunburst and Burnett Siding along the river corridor reflects the historic industrial and transportation patterns of Haywood County. Further east, smaller communities like Bethel and Woodrow occupy the gentler terrain near the Pigeon River. Significant landmarks such as the Green Hill Cemetery in the northwest and the Big Ridge Mine to the southwest provide tangible points for genealogical and historical research. The map also highlights recreational and camp infrastructure, notably the Daniel Boone Camp and its associated Camp Daniel Boone Dam near Fork Mountain.
