About this map

Great Smoky Mountains National Park occupies the northwestern portion of this 1941 field-checked survey, its boundary following the high Cataloochee Divide. South of the park line, the landscape transitions from steep peaks like Hemphill Bald and Fie Top into the settled valley of Jonathan Creek. This drainage serves as the primary corridor for agricultural and social life, evidenced by a string of silos and community landmarks.

Maggie Valley and Dellwood appear as central hubs for the surrounding mountain coves. Genealogists can locate numerous family burial sites, including Roundhill Cem, Garrett Cem, and Owen Cem, many of which are situated on hillsides overlooking the creek. Educational and religious centers like Rock Hill Sch, Olivet Ch, and Holiness Ch are clearly marked, while smaller clusters of homes are identified at Suttontown and Beantown. The mapping also details the intricate network of water sources, from Caldwell Fork to the Factor Branch.
