Summary

English: Figure 1 from USGS Circular 646, a survey of the "Brown Mountain lights" phenomenon, by George R. Mansfield. Mansfield used basic surveying techniques to plot the sources of the Brown Mountain lights on this map, showing that the purportedly mysterious lights were distant car and train headlights in the newly electrified Catawba River valley. |
