2019 Map of Walden Creek

About this map

Pigeon Forge sits at the edge of this detailed topography, where the landscape rises sharply toward the summits of Chilhowee Mtn and Bluff Mtn. The terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and watercourses, including the winding Waldens Cr and Ellejoy Cr. Small settlements and family landmarks are scattered throughout the valleys, providing a window into the rural layout of Sevier County. Local history is anchored by several long-standing burial grounds such as Shiloh Cem, Ivy Hill Cem, and the Waldens Creek Cem. The map tracks the passage of US Highway 441 and US Highway 411 as they navigate the base of the Slate Knobs, illustrating how modern infrastructure follows the natural corridors established by the region's complex drainage systems, including Knob Cr and Boyds Cr.
