About this map

Gatlinburg serves as the western gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in this mid-1960s survey. The map details the transition from the growing resort community to the high wilderness peaks, highlighting the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail and the winding Cherokee Orchard Road. Local heritage is preserved through the marking of the Alfred Reagan Place and Ephraim Bales Place, alongside community anchors like Roaring Fork Ch and the Gatlinburg-Pittman High Sch.

High-elevation landmarks define the southern half of the sheet, where the Mount Le Conte summit features the Le Conte Lodge and Cliff Top. Natural features such as Alum Cave, the Chimney Tops, and Arch Rock illustrate the varied geology of the Anakeesta Ridge. For those tracing local families, the Proffitt Cem and The Glades provide specific points of interest within the broader landscape of the West Prong Little Pigeon River drainage.
