This photograph of the State Line range is by George Masa (1885-1933). On the reverse is written "View taken from a point a little below top of Mt. Collins, on State Line, and looking east and northeast along State Line. Right hand shows portion of Champion Fibre Co. lands along state line cut and later burned. Left hand shows results of fire (same fire as shown above) getting into virgin spruce on the Tennessee side of Champion Lands. Area burned perhaps a mile square or more. Photo by George Masa.” Masa's identifying number is in the left corner, O-3780. Born in Japan and raised as Shoji Endo, Masa came to the United States in 1906. In 1915, he moved to Asheville and was known variously as G. M. Iizuka, George M. Iizuka, and Masahara Iizuka, before adopting George Masa as his professional name. Masa was active in the Carolina Appalachian Trail Club, which merged with the Carolina Mountain Club, and in the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
