About this map

Gatlinburg serves as the focal point of this survey, where the concentrated development of Chalet Village and Greystone Heights meets the northern boundary of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The landscape is dominated by the steep rise of Cove Mountain and the deep drainage of the West Prong Little River, which dictates the path of the Parkway. Outside the primary tourist corridor, the map preserves evidence of older community life, including Starkeytown and several rural religious sites like Beech Grove Ch and Banner Ch.

Further south, the landscape shifts toward protected federal land, centering on the Sugarlands Visitor Information Center and the administrative hub at Park Headquarters. Traces of the area's logging and early settlement history are visible at Elkmont, where the Elkmont Ranger Station and nearby Amphitheater stand near the Little River. The topography is densely marked with family-named landmarks such as King Hollow Spring and Chinquapin Knob, offering a detailed look at the interface between private landholdings and the national park at the turn of the millennium.
