About this map

Sevierville and Pigeon Forge serve as the primary gateways to the mountains, situated where the West Prong Little Pigeon River meets major corridors like Dolly Parton Pkwy and the Parkway. This landscape is defined by the transition from the developed valley floors to the rising slopes of Shields Mountain and Pine Mountain. Along the northern edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, small communities and historic markers such as Pine Grove, Henderson Springs, and Little Cove illustrate the region's enduring settlement patterns.

Local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, including the Shiloh Memorial Cem and McMahan Cem, which are scattered among the ridges and hollows like Slay Bacon Hollow and Sugar Hollow. The proximity of the Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport and the winding Gatlinburg Spur Road (North) highlights the area's role as a vital transportation hub for those entering the neighboring national park wilderness.
