This pictorial bird's-eye view was drawn by Hal Boyer and is centered on the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The map features well-rendered topography and is filled with illustrations showing the recreational opportunities in the area including hiking, fishing, and skiing. A large menacing black bear occupies the lower left corner with other wildlife shown throughout. The verso contains a detailed map of the park along with text and numerous advertisements. Published by the Missouri Map Company, a short-lived map publisher established in 1965 and dissolved in 1970. Self-folds into pictorial wrappers (4.5 x 11.0"). Only one institutional copy is noted on OCLC (Library of Congress).
