About this map

Great Smoky Mountains National Park dominates this high-elevation quadrangle, capturing the wilderness along the border of Tennessee and North Carolina. The landscape is defined by the high peaks of the Smokies, including Mt Guyot, Mt Sequoyah, and Mt Chapman, which stand along the Appalachian National Scenic Trail as it follows the state line. Below these summits, the map reveals a preserved human history through several remote burial sites, such as the Barnes Children Cem near Greenbrier Pinnacle and the Huff Cem nestled near the western slopes.

Tracing the complex drainage systems of Ramsey Prong and Raven Fork, the map illustrates a network of historic routes including the Old Settlers Trail and the Ramsey Cascades Trail. These paths connect old landmarks like The Sawteeth and Pecks Corner, providing a detailed look at the geographic features that have challenged and supported residents and travelers for generations. The small settlement area at Three Forks marks the convergence of the river system in the southeastern corner, where Right Fork Raven Fork and Middle Fork Raven Fork meet.
