1939 Map of Greystone

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Greystone and its neighboring rural communities are defined by the sharp transition from the rolling valley floors to the high ridges of the Cherokee National Forest and Pisgah National Forest. Small mountain life is evidenced by the density of community institutions like Gethsemane Ch, Mountain View Ch, and Dobson Sch. The landscape is etched with the memory of early industry and habitation, from the Water Fork Mill in the north to isolated cabins such as Fox Cabin and Jerry Cabin in the higher elevations. The state boundary between Tennessee and North Carolina follows the spine of the mountains, crossing prominent peaks like Big Firescald Knob and Bald Mtn. The Appalachian Trail winds along this divide, connecting remote points like Jones Meadow and providing access to the Lookout Tower on Camp Creek Bald.
