Rather than a view of the mountains, this is a map of the entire United States from 1832-3, where the Great Smoky Mountains appear only as one small feature of the southern Appalachians. The eagle in its title refers to the national emblem, a decorative motif that many American maps of the period used to present the young country as a single, bounded whole. The date falls during a turbulent stretch for the Southeast, when the federal Indian Removal Act of 1830 was being enforced and Cherokee lands in the region faced intense pressure from settlers. For anyone interested in the Smokies, the map is most useful as a record of how the region was understood on paper at the time.
