The Great Smoky Mountains map from 1951 stands out for its focus on distances, marking both the park's roads and its hiking trails so that a visitor could plan a route by mileage. By that date the park, established in 1934 and straddling the Tennessee and North Carolina line, had grown into one of the most visited protected areas in the eastern United States, and travelers needed practical guides to its winding mountain roads. Maps of this kind show how the park was laid out for motorists and hikers alike, with the Appalachian Trail running along its crest and the Newfound Gap Road crossing the range.
