Rural population density in the southern Appalachians

Description:

Distribution of population density in the Southern Appalachians is, in its extreme occurrences of concentration and sparsity, largely controlled by and related to the physiographic character of the region and the location of its mineral resources. For the immediate densities, in areas in which the population is primarily dependent on land use, especially farming, a similar simple and direct relationship is much less evident.
