Macon Highlands

Macon Highlands

Appalachian Mountains

This illustration from Wilbur G. Zeigler and Ben S. Grosscup's late 19th century travel narrative, 'Heart of the Alleghanies,'� is captioned, 'The Macon Highlands' (p. 293). The authors note that the road from the town of Franklin, in Macon County, N.C., to the Georgia state line '. . . runs along the low crest of the Blue Ridge. The road winds beside the Little Tennessee, following it through wide alluvial bottoms until this stream which, thirty miles below, is a wide and noble river, has dwindled to an insignificant creek. At Rabun gap you pass out of North Carolina' (p. 330).
