About this map

Tuckaleechee Cove and Miller Cove anchor the landscape of this East Tennessee survey, where the Little River winds through the valley between Chilhowee Gap and the higher ridges. The area reflects a mix of traditional Appalachian settlement patterns and modern recreational development, exemplified by the proximity of the Mill Dam Slate Quarry and the Laurel Valley Golf Course near Laurel Lake.

Genealogists and local historians can trace numerous family-named landmarks and historical sites, from the Walland Post Office to scattered burial grounds such as Laws Chapel Cemetery and Tuckaleechee Chapel Cemetery. The complex topography is marked by distinctive features like Mount Nebo and Emert Bluff, while the Foothills Pkwy provides a modern transit corridor through the ridges and gaps including Lane Gap and Ace Gap.
