About this map

Jones Cove and the northern border of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park define this landscape in eastern Tennessee. The map reveals a dense concentration of small family burial grounds, such as Williams Cem, Hurst Cem, and McMahan Cem, which are scattered throughout the valleys of Dunn Creek and Webb Cr. These sites suggest a legacy of rural settlement patterns where family farmsteads maintained their own cemeteries near landmarks like English Mtn and Chestnut Ridge.

Along the southern edge, Pittman Center and Rocky Grove serve as modern gateways to the national park, while the Old Settlers Trl provides a historical link to the area's wilderness roots. The intricate drainage network, including Stillhouse Hollow and Spurgeon Hollow, highlights the complex topography that historically isolated these cove communities before the development of E Pkwy and Jones Cove Rd.
