Appalachian Landslide Consultants, PLLC (ALC) is pleased to provide this online map viewer of the Landslide Maps of Western North Carolina as a service to those who live in the mountains of WNC and to those who are looking to move to this beautiful area.

Landslide maps for WNC come from two sources. Those produced by the North Carolina Geological Survey (NCGS) from 2005 through 2011 and 2018 to the present, and those produced by ALC from 2012 to the present. This map viewer shows the detailed landslide maps produced by ALC.

These maps cover areas mapped by ALC in Jackson County and parts of Haywood County. For landslide maps in other WNC counties, visit the NCGS online map viewer  Some features from the Buncombe County maps are also available on Buncombe’s GIS online viewer by clicking on the “Map Layers” button in the upper right of the screen and then checking the Debris Flow Pathways and Stability Index Map layers under the Environmental group. Some features from the Henderson County maps are available on Henderson County’s GIS online viewer, in the Map Layers under “Natural” and “Landslide Mapping Data.”

ALC worked with the Jackson County, NC government to produce landslide maps for all of Jackson County.  ALC is also partnered with the Haywood Waterways Association and the Southwestern NC Resource Conservation and Development Council to produce landslide maps for Haywood County, NC for selected watersheds.

We are always working to improve the readability and understandability of the maps, if you have any suggestions, please email stephen@appalachianlandslide.com.

Please share this map viewer via a link to this website, not a link directly to the map viewer.

We have created a quick and easy User’s Guide to help you understand and use the maps.
