1939 Map of Greystone

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Appalachian Trail snakes along the crest of the Bald Mtn ridge in 1939, marking the high-altitude boundary between Greene County, Tennessee, and Madison County, North Carolina. This high-country landscape is defined by its isolation and the distribution of small religious and educational centers at the mountain's base, such as Mountain View Ch, Gethsemane Ch, and the Horse Creek Sch. The settlement of Greystone serves as a local hub near Jennings Creek, while more remote reaches of the Unaka National Forest and Pisgah National Forest are punctuated by simple dwellings like Doak Cabin, Fox Cabin, and Jerry Cabin. The presence of the Camp Creek Bald Lookout Tower and multiple campgrounds like Round Knob Campground indicates the early 20th-century development of the region for fire observation and forest recreation. Notable local landmarks like Hampton Mill and Shelton Mission provide specific points of interest for those tracing family history or early mountain industry.
