2019 Map of Mount Le Conte

About this map

Gatlinburg and the surrounding high ridges of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park define this 2019 survey, illustrating the interface between resort development and protected wilderness. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of family cemeteries and landmarks, such as McCarter Cem, Proffitt Cem, and Mellinger Cem, which trace the ancestral footprints of communities like Greenbrier Cove and Glade. Elevation ranges from the valley floors near the West Prong Little Pigeon River to the soaring peaks of Mt Le Conte and Anakeesta Knob. Notable hiking routes including the Appalachian National Scenic Trail and the Old Sugarlands Trail intersect at high-altitude points like Trillium Gap and Alum Gap, documenting the modern recreational layout of these peaks.
