1936 Map of Wear Cove

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Tuckaleechee Cove and Wear Cove dominate this mid-1930s landscape, captured just as the boundary for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park was being established across the southern ridges. The settlement pattern follows the valley floors, with small communities like Townsend and Hatchertown connected by State Hy No 73 and a local Railroad. The map reveals a deeply rooted social geography, evidenced by the numerous small churches and schools serving the coves, including Coker Hill Sch, Wearwood Sch, and Headrick Chapel.
