Few landmarks in the eastern United States are as heavily mapped as the Great Smoky Mountains, and this 1997 trail map reflects how visitors have long navigated the park's roughly 800 miles of trails. The park straddles the Tennessee and North Carolina border and was established in 1934, drawing on land assembled largely through donations from private citizens and the states. Maps like this one served the growing crowds who came to hike to waterfalls, historic cabins, and the high peaks along the Appalachian Trail, which crosses the park's ridgeline. Its layout is worth studying for how it balances detail with legibility across such a large, rugged terrain.
