1940 Map of Richardson Cove

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The East Fork Little Pigeon River and its numerous mountain branches carve through the landscape of Sevier County, anchoring a network of small upland settlements and family landmarks. This 1940 field examination by the Tennessee Valley Authority reveals a community deeply tied to its geography, with schools like Crockettsville Sch and Maple Branch Sch serving scattered rural households. The presence of the Smoky Mtn Academy near Zion Grove Ch highlights the local focus on education and social centers during the pre-war era. To the south, the boundary of the Great Smoky Mts Nat Park meets established crossroads like Pittman Center. The map preserves the names of small drainages and ridges, such as Shields Mountain and Bearwallow Mountain, alongside family burial grounds including Williams Cem and the Ball Cem, providing essential data for genealogical research in this Appalachian terrain.
