How has the road system been influenced by the topography?

The question is based on Map T-6, the “Johnson City, Tennessee-Virginia-Kentucky- North Carolina” topographic map (scale 1:250,000; contour interval 100 feet). This map shows a portion of the Appalachian Mountains at the Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia border 136°39'30"N, 83°01'05"W). Figure 41-4 is a satellite image of this same region (to view this image, scan the QR code for this exercise or go to the Hess Laboratory Manual website and Exercise 41).
