Detailed maps of the park and surrounding areas

[guerillafish]

Folks, I read the threads and recognize the names of the places, but other than the map I have of the park from the visitor's center, is there a good map that I can get that would be more informative and have better details? Thanks in advance for your time.

I think it's National Geographic that has a large double sided waterproof one. I have one for the park, one for Big South Fork and one for South Cherokee National Forest. They're at home, but I think that's who puts it out. They are about $10 and I get them at Gander Mountain, however, LRO may carry the one for the park.

Hope I'm not steping on any toes, but here is a link to their web site.

If LRO carries it, they have free shipping.

Thanks, Buzz. We do carry the National Geographic maps...we have the Smokies and all of the surrounding area maps as well.

that "free" map is not designed to give y0u hiking or driving info..it is a souvenir.......and the best map is #229 from national geographic. by the way, there is a new flyer from the park...cades cove and you.....i love it! i spells out the what not to do items, and then tells you enforcement will be forthcoming for vioilations. about time!

Sam,

I can't wait to get some of those brochures and handle significant distribution. Like you said, It's about time.

Earthwalk Press makes a very nice Smokies Map, also on waterproof paper. It's a bit more stylized than the National Geographic, but I think it's easier to read and its contours are in feet, not meters:
