The unique aesthetic and distinctive style of these federally produced maps immediately transports the viewer back in time and links the past and present. These are pieces of cartographical History and demonstrate the evolution of American History and how culture evolved throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to preserve sites of biological and cultural significance. The park contains more than seventy-five historical structures to tell the story of the settlers that farmed and lived off the land from the late nineteenth century on. These include churches, gristmills, schools, homes, and other agricultural and farming structures. With nearly two hundred thousand acres of old-growth forest, the Great Smoky National Park is the largest east of the Mississippi River and contains the densest population of black bears in the eastern United States.
