1939 Map of Sams Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Sams Gap serves as a critical mountain pass on the border between North Carolina and Tennessee, where the Appalachian Trail follows the high ridgelines of the Unaka Mountains. This 1939 survey, updated with aerial data in the late 1970s, reveals a high-altitude landscape defined by narrow coves and family settlements. Clusters of community life appear at Halls Store and English, while numerous country churches like Upper Laurel Ch and Arrington Branch Ch anchor the remote valleys.
