| Abstract | "The mountains of Ashe County, in North Carolina's northwest corner, support an antediluvian mixed hardwood forest, rooted in nutrient-rich soil and watered by 40-60 inches of annual rainfall. From the highest peaks to the lowest valleys, through which flows one of the ancient river systems in the world, trees carpet much of the county's 406 square miles"-- Provided by publisher. |
