1953 Map of Wear Cove

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Little River winds through the heart of this landscape, carving through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and creating distinctive landmarks like the Sinks. This mid-century survey captures a period of transition as the Foothills Parkway is noted as under construction, bridging the gap between the rural valley life and the expanding park system. Local history is deeply etched into the terrain, from the Park Settlement and Hatchertown to the numerous small family burial grounds like Brickey Cemetery and Mattox Cemetery that dot the ridges.
