-Another range of mountains, most notably a mountain named Camp Creek Bald, form the North Carolina/Tennessee state line would appear on the flight's left, in a southerly direction.

Present day Interstate Highway 81(non-existent in 1964) runs roughly straight down the middle of the valley, slightly to the north of Ottway, Tennessee.
