C Irom Jumpoff UNITED STATES GEOGRAPHIC BOARD DECISIONS OF THE V No. 13.—Decisions Rendered January 15, 1932 [Names in boldface type are those approved by the board. When two names are printed in boldface type, that which is inclosed in parentheses ( ) is the conventional English name, and the use of either form, or both forms, is authorized. Names preceded by an asterisk (*) are revisions of earlier decisions. Cross-reference names in boldface type are alternative names of spellings the use of which is approved. Cross-reference names in italics are rejected names or spellings. Cross-reference names in ordinary roman type (e. g., La Haye) preceded by a double dagger (t) are foreign geographic names in a language other than that of the country concerned, e. g., the French name of a city in the Netherlands. Names in parentheses ( ), printed in roman type, following a word such as " peak," "lake," or "bay" designating a geographic feature, e. g., "Ourand: peak (Mount Ourand)," indicate the form of the name in common or local use. Spellings followed by a dagger (t) are English transliterations from a non-Latin alphabet. ] Abandon: creek, Boundary County, Idaho, rising in sec. 21, T. 63 N., E. 3 W., Boise meridian, and tributary to Caribou Creek in sec. 7 of the same township and range, Kaniksu National Forest.

Name, more than a century old, was given on account of the alum and epsom salts deposited by the trickling streams of water. 98218—32 Anakeesta: mountain ridge (Anakee- sta Ridge), altitude 6,000 feet, Sevier County, Tenn., Great Smoky Mountains, near lat. 35° 38' N., long. 83° 26' W. This name, of Cherokee origin, reported locally to mean " place of the balsams," was suggested by the Nomenclature Committee of the Tennessee Great Smoky Mountains Park Commission because of the heavy growth of balsam on the sides and top of this ridge. Bald: mountains, Cocke, Greene, and Unicoi counties, Tenn., and Haywood, Madison, and Yancey counties, N.

Like many rural areas, names of places within the Great Smoky Mountains were sometimes redundant or known by different names in different localities. In the 1930s, the National Park Service appointed a Nomenclature Committee from North Carolina and one from Tennessee to make recommendations to U.S. Geographic Board which decided upon “official” names for peaks, creeks, and roads. Photographer and park advocate, George Masa served on the North Carolina committee. Born Masahara Iizuka and raised in Japan, George Masa (1881-1933) emigrated to the U.S. when he was 20 years old and, in 1915, came to Asheville, where he lived the rest of his life. Masa was active in the Appalachian Trail Club and in the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
