Burnsville serves as the central hub for this corner of Yancey County, situated in a valley between the massive Ramseytown Mountain and the southern reaches of the Pisgah National Forest. This 1940 edition documents a landscape defined by small mountain settlements and rural institutions, including the State Prison Camp near Riverside and the Mt Mitchell Boys Camp along the Cane River. The region's social structure is traced through numerous neighborhood schools and churches, such as Clearmont School and Miller Chapel.
