1964 Map of Luftee Knob

About this map

Great Smoky Mountains National Park dominates this mid-1960s survey, illustrating the high-elevation terrain along the Tennessee and North Carolina border. The map documents a wilderness shaped by past industry and recreational access, notably featuring the Appalachian Trail as it traverses ridges like Snake Den Mountain and Inadu Mountain. Evidence of earlier logging or transport is preserved in the form of an Old Railroad Grade and several Railroad Grade segments winding through the steep topography near Balsam High Top and McGinty Creek.
