Cutting here mostly for aesthetic reasons. Fire hazard very high due to spruce slash. Fire Hazard Reduction, State Line, 1935
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Cutting here mostly for aesthetic reasons...Fire hazard very high due to spruce slash. Almost impossible to travel through the area except by trail, or the old RR grade. Dead snags, mostly spruce, probably injured during logging...They were probably decayed some at the time of logging and not worth cutting.Fire Hazard Reduction; State Line, IV-Z-4383, Miscellaneous
