About this map

Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Pisgah National Forest meet in this 2019 survey, defining a landscape of high ridges and narrow creek valleys. The Cataloochee Divide forms a natural boundary across the north, while the southern half transitions into the developing communities of Maggie Valley and Dellwood. Settlement patterns are tightly bound to the waterways, with homes and roads following the curves of Jonathan Creek and Campbell Creek.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks and burial sites throughout the terrain, including several cemeteries such as Hiram Caldwell Cem and Robert Palmer Cem located within or near the park boundaries. The presence of a Mine and numerous family names on peaks like Walker Bald and Hemphill Bald points to a history of high-elevation subsistence and industry. This map illustrates the intersection of conserved wilderness and the modern sprawl extending from nearby Waynesville.
