  • The conflicting usages have to some extent been settled by the Decisions2 of the United States Geographic Board. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Decisions of the U. S. Geographic Board, January 15, 1932, with corrections of March 2nd., April 6, and May 4, 1932. LOCALITY GEOGRAPHIC BOARD NAME GUYOT NAME North Carolina-Tennessee- Stone Stone Virginia boundary line south to Watauga River Doe River to Nolichucky River Stone Unaka or Iron Nolichucky River to Big Bald (Max Patch from Bald Pigeon River Big Pigeon to French Broad Big Pigeon River to Little Great Smoky Great Smoky Tennessee River Little Tennessee River to Unicoi Unika Hiwassee River The Iron Mountains (U.S. Geographic Board Decisions, January 15, 1932) extend west of and parallel the stone mountain from Doe River North northeast to New River for 80 miles: they form the boundary between Smyth, Graham and Wythe counties, Virginia. The Iron Mountains would seem more properly to extend to the head of North Indian Creek of the Nolichucky River, including, south of Doe River, the range called “Stone Mountain” on the U. S. Geological Survey Roan Mountain Quadrangle. This nomenclature leaves a gap in the western rim between the Stone Mountains at the Watauga River and the Unaka Mountains at the Doe River; here the State boundary follows an arbitrary line.
