2019 Map of Cades Cove

About this map

Cades Cove serves as the focal point of this survey, where the valley floor is defined by a dense concentration of historical sites within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The landscape is a detailed record of early settlement genealogy, preserved through numerous burial grounds such as the Noah Burchfield Cem, Ike Lequire Cem, and Carver Feezell Cem. The cultural importance of the valley is evident in its surviving religious centers, including the Cades Cove Missionary Baptist Church Cem and the Cades Cove Primitive Baptist Church Cem, which are linked by historic thoroughfares like Sparks Lane Road and the Cades Cove Loop Road.
