1940 Map of Jones Cove

About this map

Jones Cove sits at the heart of this 1940 Tennessee Valley Authority survey, a community defined by the convergence of Dunn Creek and Wilhite Creek between the looming heights of English Mountain and Webb Mountain. The map documents a deeply rooted rural society characterized by a dense network of country schools and family-centered landmarks. To the south, the boundary of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park cuts across the slopes of the Great Smoky Mountains, marking a transition from settlement to protected wilderness.
