Looking eastward along the Tennessee-North Carolina state line from Cold Spring Mountain located where Madison County, North Carolina meets Greene County, Tennessee. Second hump from left is “Big Rock” (or Big Butt), where the state line turns abruptly southward. Third hump from the left is “Big Butt” (or Gravely Knob) and the fourth is Green Ridge. The photographer clarifies that the first names in “quotes” are those used by U.S.G.S., those in parenthesis are used by John Bohanon, property owner. The photographer, Carlos C. Campbell (1892-1978), was a founding member of the Smoky Mountain Hiking Club (est. 1924) and a charter member of the Great Smoky Mountains Conservation Association (est. 1923). Campbell was an avid hiker and often assisted Jim Thompson with his camera equipment. When Campbell won a folding camera in 1935, he began his own photography journey, taking thousands of photographs and jotting down information about each one in small notebooks. His granddaughter, Rebecca Campbell Arrants, donated this collection of photographs and notebooks from 1934 - 1940 to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
