About this map

Roan High Knob and Carvers Gap dominate the high ridgelines where the Tennessee-North Carolina border follows the crest of the Blue Ridge. This mid-century survey, based on 1930s field work, captures a transition between high-altitude bald peaks and the industrial valleys below. Mining activity is central to the local economy of the period, with the Jackson Mine, Meadow Mine, and Cranberry Mine scattered among the peaks, reflecting the region's historical reliance on mineral extraction.
