I consider your locale, just knowing generally not exact, more "mountainy" than mine since I am at the edge of this specific range/chain. If I look SW, W or NW I just see flat land for a lot of miles until the next range which I guess is officially the Appalachian Range though the Appalachian Trail goes right beside us here in the Blue Ridge/South Mountain Range. Its all Appalachians I guess. That area to my West is known as "The Great Valley". 30-40 miles between ranges.
