About this map

Citico Creek and its many tributaries, such as Salt Spring Br and North Fork of Citico Trl, define the high-elevation landscape of the Cherokee National Forest along the Tennessee and North Carolina border. This area within the Unicoi Mountains is characterized by its steep ridges and deep gaps, including Farr Gap and Big Stack Gap. Small settlements like Good Fields and Whiteoak Flats sit at the edges of this wilderness, where forest service roads meet an extensive network of hiking paths.

The terrain is marked by distinctive family-named and local landmarks such as Jeffrey Hell, Ikes Peak, and Big Fodderstack. The state line runs along the high ridges between Monroe and Graham counties, following the divide through Stiffknee Top. This modern survey records the enduring footprint of forest management and recreation, where Citico Rd and the Ibra Lake Loop Trl provide access to the remote peaks of Citico Mtn.
