About this map

Great Smoky Mountains National Park is defined by its complex network of ridges and high gaps along the Tennessee and North Carolina border. This map documents the wild geography of the high country around Thunderhead Mountain, where the Appalachian Trail follows the state line ridge. This path connects notable high points such as Big Chestnut Bald and Mount Davis, passing through transitions like Beechnut Gap and Mineral Gap. To the north, the headwaters of the Little River and its various prongs descend from the Great Smoky Mountains, while the southern slopes drain into the Hazel Creek and Bone Valley Creek systems. The terrain is marked by distinctive landmarks like Chimney Rocks and Chestnut Flats, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns that have shaped this portion of the Smokies.
