About this map

Unaka National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape along the border of North Carolina and Tennessee in the mid-1930s. The terrain is structured by massive ridges including Snake Mountain, Divide Mountain, and the Walnut Mountains, which dictated the early settlement patterns of Upper Laurel and Grapevine Mountain. Along the narrow creek bottoms, small rural communities thrived around landmarks like the Flume Mill near Faust and a dense network of mountain houses of worship, including Higgins Chapel, Ebb Chapel, and Bright Hope Ch.
