About this map

Great Smoky Mountains National Park dominates this landscape, where the Oconaluftee River and Raven Fork converge near the settlement of Smokemont. This area is exceptionally dense with family burial sites and memorial grounds, offering significant value for genealogists tracing Appalachian roots. Notable locations include the Enloe African Cem, Noland Children Cem, and Tom Huskey's Child Cem.

Transport through this complex terrain is defined by the Blue Ridge Parkway and Newfound Gap Road S, which follow the river valleys and gap crossings. High ridges like Richland Mountain and Hughes Ridge frame the deep hollows where numerous creeks like Mingus Creek and Chasteen Creek drain toward the larger river systems. The map also captures the transition from the national park into the surrounding communities near Ravensford.
