Description
Map of the Southern Appalachian Mountains.
The Appalachian Mountains began to rise over 500 million years ago and reached their maximum height about 300 million years ago. The Southern Appalachians -- as seen in this artistic map, rises like an island of mountains above a sea of wave-like hills and lowlands of southeastern United States.
Easily seen is the Tennessee Valley to the west and the French Broad River flowing northward through the Asheville area. Also visible is the Brevard Faultline that runs from the headwaters of the Savannah River Basin in northeastern Georgia and western North Carolina northeast to Lake Jocassee in South Carolina and up through the town of Brevard to the Fletcher area. Even the hills just north of Greenville South Carolina are clearly seen.

Awesome results Duane; beautifully created......
Duane McCullough replied:
Thanks Joyce -- a map without roads and words is a unique form of fine art that reveals many interesting stories if understood properly. What looks like a smearing of wall plaster is really a model map creation of a beautiful region where I live. Again, Thanks!
