About this map

The Burnsville settlement serves as the central hub of this 1939 survey, situated along the Cane River where the valley floor provides a break in the surrounding mountain ranges. This era of Yancey County history is characterized by a dense network of mountain communities and family-named landmarks, many of which are preserved here through the survey work of the Tennessee Valley Authority. Key social centers of the day include the Day Book post office and local educational sites like the Clearmont Sch and Mine Fork Sch.
