About this map

Blue Ridge and Tennessee Ridge dominate this post-war landscape, where the rugged topography of western North Carolina transitions through numerous gaps and mountains. Small rural communities like Dana, Mill Corner, and Mount Valley are linked by a network of winding roads such as Page Rd and Sugarloaf Rd. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by the Hungry River and Green River, which carves through the distinct geological feature known as The Narrows. Family and community history is anchored in local landmarks, including Edith Grove Ch and Macedonia Ch, along with several small burial grounds such as Jones-Price Cem and Patty Cem. The Tennessee Valley Authority's 1946 field examination provides a clear look at this area's development before modern infrastructure altered the more isolated mountain corridors.
