1939 Map of Sams Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Sams Gap sits at the high-elevation divide where the Bald Mountains meet the Pisgah National Forest along the North Carolina and Tennessee border. This 1939 field examination by the Tennessee Valley Authority reveals a landscape of isolated mountain communities connected by narrow trails and creek-side roads. The concentration of family burial grounds and small houses of worship, such as Blankenship Cem, Robinson Cem, and Bright Hope Ch, reflects the deeply rooted social structure of these Appalachian coves.
