About this map

Mount Le Conte rises as the central topographical anchor of this high-elevation Tennessee landscape, surrounded by a complex network of ridges and deep drainage basins. The map illustrates the proximity of high-country landmarks like Le Conte Lodge and Cliff Top to the low-lying settlements and family hollows. Genealogists will find a high density of ancestral burial grounds preserved in the terrain, including Whitted Cemetery, McCarter Cemetery, and Whalley Cemetery near Greenbrier Cove.

Evidence of historical habitation and mountain transit is visible through names such as Tudor Hollow, Jerry Hollow, and Jack Hollow. The southern reach of the map is defined by prominent peaks and geological formations like the Chimney Tops and Anakeesta Ridge, while the hydrological system is dominated by the many prongs of the Little Pigeon River and West Prong Little Pigeon River. This 2010 survey records the intricate placement of trails and access points such as The Loop and Fort Harry against the backdrop of the high Great Smokies.
