Description
WikipediaFlattop Mountain is a mountain in High Country near the village of Sugar Mountain. It is located entirely within the Pisgah National Forest and has an elevation of 4,944 feet (1,507 m). Streams that originate on the mountain's slopes flow directly into the Linville River, except on the north slope, where Flattop Creek flows into the Elk River. The Eastern Continental Divide bisects the mountain. Due to its proximity, Flattop Mountain is sometimes mistaken for a part of Sugar Mountain.
