ridge, for the most part, to the south. The Iron Mountains extend form New River to the Doe River. The name once had a wider application; until the beginning of the nineteenth century even the Smokies were known as the Great Iron Mountains. As the western rim of the Southern Appalachians is divided into segments, so the iron Mountains are further subdivided; two of these divisions are Grosses and Straight Mountain (also the name of the subsidiary ridge) As it nears New River the Iron Mountains become a series of disconnected knobs; the Trail route utilizes a more direct approach, coming on to the Iron Mountains at Jones Knob, where they have become a well-defined ridge-crest. The Northern Unaka Section is accessible by branch lines of the Norfolk and Western Railroad at New River and Damascus, its northern and southern terminus, respectively. for greater convenience the trail data are subdivided into short sections, the ends of each section being readily reached by automobile. The Northern Unaka sections are: Dixon’s Ferry to Byllesby…………………………………………6.15 miles Byllesby to U. S. Highway No. 21 ……………………………18.00 miles Highway No. 21 to Houndshell Gap…………………………. miles Offset in Houndshell Gap……………………………… .12 miles Houndshell Gap to Highway No. 12………………………….6.32 miles Highway No. 12 to Skull Gap Road……………………………9.27 miles Offset on Skull Gap Road……………………………………. 65 miles Skulls Gap to Damascus, Virginia………………………………12.15 miles The Pulaski Branch of the Norfolk and Western Railroad passes Dixon’s Ferry on the New River but the nearest regular station stops are Fries Junction, Fries and Galax.

This undated manuscript titled, “The Unaka and the Pisgah,” is by Myron Haliburton Avery (1899–1952), who was president of the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club and chairman of the board of the Appalachian Trail Conference. The paper discusses the Unaka Range and Pisgah Forest and the history of each region. The manuscript was collected by George Masa. Known for his photography, George Masa (1881-1933) was active in the Appalachian Trail Club and in the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
