Roan Mountain and the surrounding highlands along the Tennessee-North Carolina border are defined by high gaps and the overlapping reach of the Cherokee National Forest and Pisgah National Forest. This 2022 survey details the rugged topography where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through ancient crossings like Moreland Gap, Yellow Mountain Gap, and Bradley Gap. The landscape is a network of ridges including Heaton Creek Ridge and Lacy Trap Ridge, separated by deep hollows and narrow valleys where small settlements and family cemeteries are found.
