1976 Map of Mount Le Conte

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Gatlinburg and the surrounding high-elevation peaks are captured in this orthophotograph, created from aerial imagery taken in November 1976. Unlike traditional line-drawn maps, this photo-rectified survey shows the actual forest canopy and land-use patterns across the State Line Divide during the mid-1970s. The image provides a detailed view of the terrain around Mount Le Conte and Anakeeesta Knob, where the natural drainage and dense vegetation define the landscape. Small settlements like Cartertown and Glade appear at the northern edges, illustrating how human development in this corner of Tennessee met the rising slopes of the great southern highlands. This specific orthophotoquad is a collaboration between the Geological Survey and the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development, documenting the region's topography through automatic correlation of imagery.
