Position. North Carolina is in the Southeastern part of\\nthe United States. It is bounded on the North by Virginia, on\\nthe East by the Atlantic Ocean, on the South bv South Caro-\\nlina, and on the West by Tennessee.\\nII. Extent. Its area is 52,286 square miles, which is a\\nlittle greater than that of New York, and almost exactly that\\nof England. Its greatest length from East to West is 503 miles;\\nits greatest length from North to South is 1ST miles. It has\\n314 miles of sea coast. There are 96 counties in the State. The\\nlargest counties are Brunswick and Robeson (950 square miles);\\nthe smallest county is New Hanover (80 square miles The\\npopulation of the State is 867, 242 white, 531,277 colored, 1,230\\nIndians, making a total of 1,399.749. There are about 29 per-\\nsons to every square mile of surface.\\nIII. Contour. 1. Indentations. Its Eastern boundary is\\nindented by three large sounds, Currituck, Albemarle, and\\nPamlico, and by two large bays, Raleigh and Onslow. The\\nsounds are broad and shallow, and abound in fish.\\n2. Projections. Skirting the sea coas are many long,\\nnarrow sandbanks, which often change their positions. The\\nprojections from t.ese banks make dangerous capes, as Cape\\nHatteras, Cape Lookout and Cape Fear.\\nIV. Relief. According to height of surface above sea-\\nlevel, the State is divided into sections. (1). the Eastern, (2).\\nMiddle and (3). Western sections.\\n1. The Eastern section lies along the sea coast, and ex-\\ntends inland from 120 to 150 miles. Its surface is low and\\nlevel, containing, near the ocean, many lakes and swamps.\\n2. The Middle section contains nearly one half the area of\\nthe State. It extends from the Eastern sec ion to t. e foot of\\nthe Blue Ricke Mountains in the West. Its surface is undu-\\nlating and hilly, varying in height from 150 feet to 1,500 feet.\\n3. The Western section extends from the Blue Ridge on\\nthe East to the Smoky Mountains on the West. It is a high\\ntable land (plateau), 2,5(M) feet hirh, containing several high\\npeaks. The highest peak is Mount Mitchell, 6,688 feet high.\\nIt is the highest peak in the Appalachian System. Other high\\npeaks are Clingman s Peak, Roan Mountain, Bald Mountain\\nand Grand Father Mountain. There are about thirty peaks in\\nNorth Carolina above 6,000 feet high, many of which art 4 higher\\nthan Mount Washington. If the whole surface of the State\\nwere leveled, it would be 640 feet above sea l.-vel.\\nV. Rocks. 1. Soils. The soil of the Eastern section is\\ngenerally sandy and of moderate fertility. But alon/ the\\nstreams ano in the swamps the soil is very fertile. In the\\nMiddle and Western sections there are all kinds of soil. It\\nis a remarkable fact that the mountains are covered with rich\\nsoil and magnificent forests crown their very summits.\\n2. Minerals. The following minerals are found in work-\\nable quantities: marl in 25 counties copper in 12 countie", "height": "3911", "width": "2512", "jp2-path": "physicalpolitica00phil_0006.jp2"}, "7": {"fulltext": "limestone in 20 counties coal in three counties. Mica is ex-\\ntensively and profitably mined in the mountains. Graphite,\\nlead, silver, zinc, manganese, corundum rind many precious stones\\nare found. Beautiful and valuable building stones exist in\\ngreat abundance. There is a larger number of species of mine-\\nrals found in North Carolina than in any other State in the\\nUnion\\nVI. Rivers. There are two river systems represented in\\nthe State. 1. the Atlantic system, East of the Blue Ridge, and\\n2. th.i Mississippi system, West of the Blue Rid*re.\\n1. Atlantic System. There are seven large rivers which\\nflow in a Southeastern direction through the Middle and East-\\nern sections, and empty i^to the Atlantic Ocean. The Roan-\\noke empties into Albemarle Sound and is navigable to Weldon\\nnearly 100 miles from its mouth. The Tar empties into Pam-\\nlico Sound and is niviuable to Tarboro, 100 miles from its\\nnioutn. The Neuse empties into Pimlico Sound and is navi-\\ngable to Golds^oro, 100 miles from its mouth. The Cape Fear\\nempties into the Atlantic Ocean and is navigable to Fayette-\\nville, 140 miles from its month. The Yadkin, Catawba and\\nBroad Rivers take their rise in the Blue Ridge and flow South-\\neast through South Carolina and empty into the Atlantic\\nOcean; they are navigable for certain parts only of their\\ncourses.\\n2. The Mississippi system. West of the Blue Ridge are six\\nother large rivers, New. Watauga, Nolechucky, French Broad,\\nTennessee and Iliwassee. These rivers flow West into the\\nMississippi and Ohio Rivers. The Tennessee River is the\\nlargest of them.\\nWater Power. The value of these rivv r can scarcely be\\nestimated. The force produced by their fall from their\\nsources to the sea exceeds the force of all \\\\he steam-engines in\\nthe United States or in Great Britain. The Yadkin River\\nalone, before leaving the State, has power to turn 10,000,000\\nspindles. The total water power of the State is 3,500,000 horse\\npowers.\\nV1T. Climate. Every variety of climate from very warm\\nto very cold exists in the State. There is no healthier climate\\nanywhere than that which the Middle and Western sections\\nafford. The mountains are fast becoming resorts for invalids.\\nTi:e average yearly temperature of the whole State is 59\u00c2\u00b0.\\nThe average rain fall is 52 inches.\\nVII 1. Vegetation. 1. Native Growth. In the Eastern\\nsection are found the pine, cypress, .juniper and live-oak. The\\nlong-leafed i hie, which covers a large part of this section, is of\\ngreat value in producing turpe tine. Tlie live-oak is exten-\\nsively used for shipbuilding. The Middle section abounds in\\noaks, hickory, walnut, persimmon, dog-wood and sassafras, all\\nof which are valuable to commerce. In the Western section\\noccur walnut, cedar, white pine, and chestnut. Four-fifths of\\nthe entire area of the State are still covered with .forests.\\n2. Cultivated Growth. Cotton and corn are the staple\\nproducts of the State. In the Eastern section are produced\\ncotton, corn, potatoes, the small grains, peanuts and a great", "height": "3921", "width": "2594", "jp2-path": "physicalpolitica00phil_0007.jp2"}, "8": {"fulltext": "variety of garden vegetables; in the Middle section, cotton,\\ncorn, the small grains and tobacco; in the Western section, the\\nsmall grains and tobacco; the Western section is well adapted\\nto grazing. Fruit grows in great variety and perfection in\\nevery part of the State.\\nIX. Animals. All the domestic animals common to the\\nNorth temperate zone are found in the State. Of the wild ani-\\nmals, bears and deer are found in the Eastern and Western\\nsections. Small game is abundant every where.\\nX. Industries. In the Eastern section of the State tM*j\\nrivers, lakes and sounds furnish a great abundance of fish and\\noysters, the catching of which is rapidly becoming one of the\\nprinciple industries. The cultivation of cotton engages a large\\npart of the people in this sect. on. In the Middle section man-\\nufactories are found along the streams. Iron and gold mines\\nare being profitably worked. Manv extensive tobacco lacto-\\nnes are in operation in this section. In the Western section\\nthe people are mainly engaged in agriculture, mining, and cat-\\ntle raising.\\nXI. Cities. Raleigh, situated in Wake Counly is the\\ncapital of the State, and was named after Sir Walter Raleigh.\\nWilmington having a population of 17,350, is the largest city\\nand seaport. Other cities and towns of importance are Fay-\\netteville New Berne, Goldsboro, Elizabeth City, Wilson, Dur-\\nham, Greensboro, Winston, Salisbury, Charlotte, Statesville\\nand Asheville.\\nXL I. History. The first permanent settlement in the State\\nwas made in 1653. The State was settled by English, French,\\nGermans, Swiss and Scotch-Irish. North Carolina was one of\\nthe original Thirteen States of the Union, and was the first to\\ndeclare herself free of the rule of England. This act took\\nplace at Charlotte in Mecklenburg County in May, 1775. The\\nState University, whose corner stone was hi id in 1793, is at\\nChapel Hill, in Orange County. The chief Colleges in the\\nState are Trinity, Wake Forest and Davidson.\\nI. Position.\\nII. Extent.\\nIll CONTOUR (I) I, 1 ri fi ,,,s\\nm. oniouk.
