Historically we begin with this cover of the Appalachian Trailway News from the ATC Archive.
This appears to be the same photo used by Myron Avery in this paper.

More recent (?!?) is my shot taken in 1974.
Published in Bristow, R. (2025). The Real Appalachian Trail BC. Appalachian Trail Museum.
Today, the National Park Service maintains an official AT map here and from this interactive map you can get this view.
Just to add some detail, I found this LiDAR map and you get this view.
What is LiDAR? well you can read this info from the USGS or ask a librarian for help fetching this journal article.
