F-286647 UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OEEICE WASHINGTON : 1940 F 386645 Power from national-forest waters: Streams whose watersheds are protected have a more even flow. I! Where Rivers Are Born Two GREAT ranges of mountains sweep southwestward through Ten nessee, the Carolinas, and Georgia. Centering largely in these mountains in the area where the boundaries of the four States converge are five national forests — the Cherokee, Pisgah, Nantahala, Chattahoochee, and Sumter. The more eastern of the ranges on the slopes of which thesefo rests lie is the Blue Ridge which rises abruptly out of the Piedmont country and forms the divide between waters flowing southeast and south into the Atlantic Ocean and northwest to the Tennessee River en route to the Gulf of Mexico. The southeastern slope of the ridge is cut deeply by the rivers which rush toward the plains, the top is rounded, and the northwestern slopes are gentle. Only a few of its peaks rise as much as a mile above the sea. The western range, roughly paralleling the Blue Ridge and connected to it by transverse ranges, is divided into segments by rivers born high on the slopes between the transverse ranges.

2011 IE Reports
INSTITUTE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT HIGHLANDS FIELD SITE 2011 INTERNSHIP RESEARCH REPORTS HIGHLANDS BIOLOGICAL STATION HIGHLANDS, NORTH CAROLINA INTRODUCTION The View from Atop the Blue Wall: where we are, and why we are here… In 1728 Colonel William Byrd of Virginia was part of a party surveying the Virginia-North Carolina border — the Dividing Line, as it was called — and from a hilltop he looked to the west and saw the Blue Ridge front looming in the distance. “Our present circumstances,” he lamented, “wou’d not permit us to advance the Line to that Place, which the Hand of Nature had made so very remarkable.” “So very remarkable,” indeed! Byrd beheld what the Cherokee called the Blue Wall, the eastern front of the Blue Ridge running from Virginia to South Carolina as a steep escarpment rising from the Piedmont. This long sinuous front reaches its greatest height of 2500 feet near Blowing Rock, North Carolina. Viewed from a distance, it appears as a continuous blue wall of mountains. And we are perched atop it. The Blue Wall was forbidding to some, but beckoned others. The lush southern Appalachian Mountains seemed to inspire a sense of mystery and primeval power to all who ventured to explore them. When Philadelphia naturalist William Bartram penetrated deep within what was then Cherokee country of western North Carolina in May 1775, he was staggered at his first elevated view of the region. As he wrote in his famous Travels, “I beheld with rapture and astonishment, a sublimely awful scene of power and magnificence, a world of mountains piled upon mountains.” Modern travelers are no less astonished; the vast Blue Ridge Physiographic Province, anchored by the Great Smoky Mountains at their heart, boasts highly complex geology with the highest peaks in all of eastern North America, and rainfall and biological diversity worthy of tropical rainforests.

Walking in the Footsteps of the Indians - Locating and Documenting Indian Cultural Heritage Sites Chapter 1
Walking in the Footsteps of the Indians - Locating and Documenting Indian Cultural Heritage Sites Chapter 1 Anthropologists estimate that before any Europeans came to North American there were between 3 and 5 million indigenous peoples scattered across what is today the continental US. Although often referred to as savages or uneducated peoples, the Native Americans were in fact very knowledgeable. They lived in harmony with the earth. They had an established transportation system that provided communications, commerce, and travel for 1,000’s of miles in any direction. Today, many of our main highways and railroads are built on top of these old paths. Using old maps, surveyor notes, personal journals, government records, and “boots on the ground” hikes to research these old trails is a fascinating way to spend time. One can learn not only about the physical route of the trail but also about life as it was lived along it. Searching for and Documenting Indian Marker Trees In 2003, the Mountain Stewards began doing research on Indian Marker Trees; but, it was not until 2007 that a full scale effort was undertaken to document these “Living Artifacts.” The Mountain Stewards first discovered these oddly shaped trees while mapping hiking trails in the Southern Appalachian Mountains of Dawson and Pickens County, GA. At that time, our knowledge about this part of Indian culture was sadly lacking. Because these trees were in an area previously occupied by Cherokees, we thought that they were related only to the Cherokees. Elaine Jordan’s book, Indian Trail Trees, published in 1997, taught us that these trees were found in other parts of the country as well.
