Abstract:
In the remote mountains of Western Carolina, a combination of high local rainfall, steep river and stream gradients, and erosion have carved the Jocassee Gorges. The greatest waterfall concentration in eastern North America is found there. Biologists have been coming to explore the rare plant life since French botanist Andre Michaux visited the area in 1788. Although not as fully explored as the plants, a variety of animals inhabits the area, including sixteen species of salamanders.

Abstract:
Lynch discusses the Scuppernong River. The headwaters originate in Lake Phelps. The river slowly flows through undeveloped swamp forest and agricultural land in Washington and Tyrrell Counties for twenty-six miles before emptying into the Albemarle Sound near Columbia. Lying in an isolated section of the state, the river has escaped pollution problems that plague other rivers. No houses or industries line its banks. Conservation agencies protect much of the floodplain.
