About this map

Mount Le Conte dominates this topographic study of the Tennessee high country, marking a landscape of sharp ridges and deep drainage basins near the North Carolina border. The northern reaches show the residential expansion of Cartertown and Glade, where local roads like Orchard Dr and Cartertown Rd wind through the foothills. Further south, the terrain becomes increasingly steep and complex, defined by features like Rainbow Falls and the high peaks of Mount Winnesoka.

Tracing the path of the W Prong Little Pigeon River, the map records recreational sites such as Chimneys Campground and Greenbrier Campground. The intricate network of ridges including James Ridge and Graveyard Ridge illustrates the natural barriers that shaped local movement through gaps like Trillium Gap. These peaks and hollows, from Jack Hollow to Porters Flat, provide a clear record of the area's geography in the early twenty-first century.
