Proctor, North Carolina

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.
