1942 Map of Wear Cove

About this map

Tuckaleechee and Townsend anchor the western edge of this 1941 Tennessee Valley Authority survey, which documents the complex settlement patterns along the northern boundary of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The landscape is defined by the steep transition from the Blount and Sevier county line down into the productive bottomlands of Little River. This map is particularly valuable for documenting rural community centers before mid-century changes, showing the locations of several family-named landmarks and local institutions like Headrick Chapel, Wearwood Sch, and Coker Hill Chapel.
