1956 Map of Pigeon Forge

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Sevierville and the nascent resort community of Pigeon Forge occupy the heart of this Sevier County survey, which documents the region's mid-century transition from mountain farming to a recreation-based economy. The landscape is dominated by the Little Pigeon River and its major tributaries, the West Prong and Middle Prong, which carve through the ridges of Pine Mountain and Patterson Ridge. This 1956 edition, with 1970 photo-revisions, captures the early footprint of modern landmarks like the Sevier-Gatlinburg Airport and the Gatlinburg Golf Course alongside traditional mountain institutions.
