Proctor, North Carolina

By:
The town of Proctor was a logging town located on the north shore of Lake Fontana. When the lake was flooded, access was cut off to the town site, and specifically to the 34+ cemeteries located on the northern shore of the lake. A road to the cemeteries was promised, but never completed. Now, a "Road to Nowhere" ends 10 miles short of its destination.
