Mountain City and the surrounding high country of the Blue Ridge define this 1902 survey, which documents the rugged borderlands of North Carolina and Tennessee. The map captures a moment when early industrial and transit hubs like Rhea Forge and Key Sta. anchored local commerce, alongside established mountain communities such as Banner Elk and Valle Crucis. The drainage of the Watauga River and the South Fork New River dictates the settlement patterns, with roads and small villages following the narrow valley floors.
