About this map

The Harrisburg Covered Bridge stands as a landmark over the East Fork Little Pigeon River, anchoring a landscape defined by its deep coves and numerous family burial grounds. This region of Sevier County reveals a dense network of mountain communities centered around Pittman Center and Emerts Cove. The topography is marked by distinctive elevations like Shields Mountain and Bearwallow Mountain, while the industrial history of the area is noted at the East Fork Mine. Local genealogists will find a wealth of records in the numerous well-preserved sites, including the Richardson Cove Cemetery, Catons Chapel Cemetery, and the Howard-Campbell Cemetery. This map provides a detailed view of the winding mountain roads and hollows, such as Swader Hollow and Happy Hollow, that have shaped the settlement patterns of these Tennessee highlands.
