Meandering Down The French Broad River

Since the French Broad River Watershed is fairly large, I chose to highlight a smaller area of the floodplains in the watershed. 15 miles South of Asheville, NC lies Mills River, NC. Compared to the mountains surrounding Mills River, NC, the town has a flat and lower elevation, which puts it at risk for flooding. Over the next 30 years, 446 properties in Mills River have greater than a 26% chance of being affected by flooding. Sources: Risk Factor. (n.d.).
