About this map

Mt Le Conte dominates the southern landscape of this 2022 survey, surrounded by the high-elevation peaks and ridges of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The map reveals a dense network of hiking trails and historic roads, such as the Appalachian National Scenic Trail and the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail, which navigate the complex topography near Gatlinburg.

A notable characteristic of this area is the high concentration of small, family-named burial grounds tucked into the hollows and ridges, including the John B Ownby Child Cem and the Nations Child Cem. These sites, along with the Lebanon Baptist Church and Friendship Baptist Church, provide essential waypoints for genealogists tracing the early settlement patterns of Pittman Center and Greenbrier Cove before the park's establishment.
