Forget Charlotte, Raleigh, or Asheville - the residents of Mayberry had their own big town that wasn't far from home. What was it called?

Mount Pilot, North Carolina was inspired by a real place in the state called Pilot Mountain, which features a nearby park called Pilot Mountain State Park and a peak known as Big Pinnacle, which can be seen from a good distance away. In the series, the locals refer to the town as "Pilot".
