1940 Map of Richardson Cove

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The East Fork Little Pigeon River carves a winding path through this corner of Sevier County, where 1940 field examinations recorded a landscape of ridge-top schools and creek-bottom settlements. This area is characterized by dense clusters of community institutions, including the Smoky Mtn Academy near Pittman Center and numerous small country schools such as Roberta Sch and Laurel Sch. Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks and cemeteries, from the Ball Cem and Thomas Cem in the northeast to the Williams Cem near Richardson Cove. The terrain is defined by prominent heights like Bearwallow Mountain and Webb Mountain, which hem in narrow hollows like Maple Hollow. At the southern edge, the boundary of the Great Smoky Mts Nat Park indicates the transition from settled agricultural land to protected wilderness.
