1940 Map of Jones Cove

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

Great Smoky Mountains National Park defines the southern portion of this 1940 survey, where the border of the park meets the high ridges of Webb Mountain. The landscape is a dense network of hollows and gaps, centered on the settlement at Jones Cove. The map reveals a deeply established community of family-named landmarks and small-scale institutions, including the Henry Sch, Juniper Sch, and Sunset Gap Sch. Religious and communal life is anchored by numerous rural congregations such as Bradley Chapel, Holder Grove Ch, and Howard View Ch. Numerous family cemeteries, including Williams Cem and Hurst Cem, are located throughout the valleys, providing a clear picture of local lineage before mid-century changes. The terrain is marked by significant passages like Hurst Gap and Blackgum Gap, which dictated the early travel routes through the English Mountain and Rich Mountain ranges.
