1940 Map of Pigeon Forge
USGS Topo · Published 1940About this map
Sevierville and the emerging community of Pigeon Forge serve as the primary hubs in this 1940 preliminary survey of the Tennessee Valley. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Middle Fork Little Pigeon River and the West Fork Little Pigeon River, creating a fertile valley floor between high points like Shields Mtn and Pine Mountain. Transportation and industry are evolving here, evidenced by the Chapman Highway and a Power Plant near the river fork. Rural life is well-documented through numerous schools and churches, including Williamsburg Sch and Marshall Grove Ch. Family histories are preserved in landmarks like the Mc Mahan Cem and the County Home near the river, while natural features like Large Ford and Goose Gap highlight the traditional routes used to navigate the Sevier County terrain before modern infrastructure was fully established.
