The Mount Mitchell Motor Road was built over an existing route that went up Mt. Mitchell. Originally constructed as a logging rail line around the turn of the century, in 1921, the railroad track was replaced by an automobile toll road. The “motor road” ran from the town of Black Mountain to Camp Alice near the summit of Mt. Mitchell. About 1924, photographer George Masa (1881-1933) took a series of photographs along the road and organized them into a 27-page photo album that included annotations that indicated prominent features along the route. The leather-bound album cover is labeled, “Mount Mitchell and views ~ along Mt. Mitchell Motor Road;” the interior title page reads, “Mount Mitchell. Top of Eastern America. Altitude 6,711 ft.” Mt. Mitchell is located in Yancey County, North Carolina and is the highest peak east of the Mississippi River.
