the boundary between Tennessee and North Carolina and roughly paralleling the Iron and Holston ranges. Guyot regarded the Stone Mountains as the true continuous, western rim and devoted his attention to them. Beyond this fork, on both the Guyot map and Lindenkohl chart, the Iron Mountains are only vaguely indicated. By reason of a continuous Forest Service trail and other advantages in route, the northern arm or true Iron Mountains were selected as the route of the Appalachian Trail. No trip to the Unaka section should, however, omit Mt. Rogers or Whitetop. They are quite accessible by trail; roads, either from Skull’s Gap or Damascus, are passable by automobile nearly to their summits. Hithertofore it has been Point Lookout and Buck Mountain, two isolated peaks to the south; but from now on it is Mt. Rogers and Whitetop which dominate the region. Rising 2,000 ft. higher and separated only by a narrow valley, their ever-changing vistas greatly retard the progress of the through traveler. The impression is indelible. The forest growth in the section form U.S. Highway No. 12 to Skull’s Gap is the best yet encountered; a splendid Forest Service trail leads through it. From Skull’s Gap to Damascus the range is known as Grosses Mountain. It reaches its culmination at the Forest Service lookout on Feathercamp Mountain; to the south is a bewildering sea of peaks, typical of the Southern Appalachians; and to the north across the Shenandoah Valley are the rampart walls of the Alleghanies, known to the Indians as the “Endless Mountains”. From Feathercamp lookout a Forest Service trail descends to Damascus. Here Laurel Creek, on its way to join the Holston River, crosses the Iron Mountain. The range, which from New River has trended only slightly south of west, now resumes its north and south course. The break in the range, in which Damascus is picturesquely located, brought with it a new problem in trail location. Instead of one range, two rise abruptly from the south side of -11-

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.
