Unicoi Range
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Unicoi Range is a southern mountain range of the Appalachian Mountains that runs from Tennessee and North Carolina into north Georgia. It has many peaks over 4,000 feet and a few over 5,000 feet.
From prehistoric times to the early 19th century the main route across the Unicoi Range was the Trading Path, later known as the Unicoi Turnpike, and today known in part as Joe Brown Highway, which crosses the crest of the mountains at Unicoi Gap (Duncan 2003:185).
