"...why did they choose to film in what is obviously the mountains of North Carolina?.."
Three reasons:
1- North Carolina has lucrative film incentives
2- It's a Right-to-Work State (and this production was barely Union; by the very end of shooting, Mr Day-Lewis did double-duty as a make-up artist because the Union crew had been laid-off)
3- Upstate New York, even its rural areas, too developed (with overhead wires and aeroplanes) Even in North Carolina, most locations were hours away into the deep countryside
