About this map

The Bald Mountains and Walnut Mountains converge at the Tennessee and North Carolina border, creating a landscape of steep ridges and deep coves. The Appalachian Trail snakes through this high country, crossing through notable breaks like Sams Gap and Street Gap. This 1939 survey, updated with 1970s aerial data, reveals a network of high-elevation mountain communities connected by small country stores and churches.
