2019 Map of Jones Cove

About this map

Great Smoky Mountains National Park defines the southern portion of this landscape, where the northern boundary of the park meets the settlements of Pittman Center and Jones Cove. This 2019 survey captures a transition between the protected forest and the agricultural and residential highlands of Sevier County and Cocke County. The map is particularly dense with small family burial grounds such as Maddron Cem, Shults- Whaley Cem, and Johnnie Ramsey Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted genealogical history of these mountain communities. Navigable terrain includes paths like the Old Settlers Trail and Maddron Bald Trail, which provide access to features like Snag Mtn and Buckeye Lead. The drainage network, featuring Webb Cr and Dunn Creek, illustrates how these narrow valleys dictated the layout of local roads like Jones Cove Rd and isolated homesteads.
