Abstract:
In a ceremony held at Waterrock Knob in June of 1970, Representative Roy A. Taylor of the 11th N.C. Congressional District officially dedicated a mountain to the late R. Getty Browning, a location engineer for the N.C. State Highway Department who became known as The Pathfinder for the Blue Ridge Parkway. Browning Knob, as the previously unnamed mountain is now known, is marked by a commemorative plaque mounted on a large native boulder.
