2016 Map of Neddy Mountain

About this map

The French Broad River carves a deep path through the heart of the Cherokee National Forest in this topographic survey, illustrating the rugged geography of Cocke County. The map details a landscape where river-bottom settlements like Del Rio and Bridgeport contrast with the high elevations of Neddy Mountain and the Meadow Creek Mountains. Along the many mountain drainages, such as Gulf Fork Big Cr, name-rich hollows like Iron Mine Hollow and Mud Tunnel Hollow reveal a history of local industry and settlement. Local genealogists will find several family burying grounds, including Faubion Cem near Baltimore and Kilgore Cem to the east. Of particular interest is the location of Click Mill, a remnant of the area's milling past situated along the southern creeks.
