Mitchell County elevation and terrain tools
Mountains • County seat: Bakersville
Mitchell County rises from the North Toe River valley at Spruce Pine to the grassy balds of Roan Mountain on the Tennessee line, part of the Unaka range. The Toe River leaves the county through a deep gorge on its western edge, where it becomes the Nolichucky.
