About this map

Gatlinburg serves as the gateway to high-altitude landmarks in this mid-1960s survey of the Tennessee-North Carolina borderlands. The landscape is defined by the massive rise of Mount Le Conte, where Le Conte Lodge and Le Conte Lodge Spring sit near peaks like Cliff Top and Myrtle Point. Away from the main summits, the map documents the human history of the hollows through sites like the Ephraim Bales Place and Alfred Reagan Place, alongside several family burial grounds including McCarter Cem, Proffitt Cem, and Tudor Cem.

Water systems like the West Prong Little Pigeon River and Roaring Fork carve through the steep terrain, passing the Roaring Fork Ch and Gatlinburg-Pittman High Sch. In the higher elevations, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park boundary is marked by features like Huggins Hell and Anakeesta Ridge, while established paths such as the Alum Cave Trail and Trillium Gap Trail provide access to distinctive geologic formations like Arch Rock and Alum Cave.
