  • Copy FROMi MS., GEO. H, SHaSHStS, ATTORV' !Y-AT-U , Ashevillo, ■« 8. I get the following information from H. R. Queen, who made as actual survey of the Smoky Mountains from the 11th mile tree at the corner of Cocke aad Sevier Counties 1 1/4 miles East of Mt* Guyot, to the Sugarknd Mountains, a distance of about 23 ml. Mr* Queen calls attention to the following discrepancies as appear on the Park map in Tennessee. That the Park Map shows the comer of Cocke and Sevier Counties as being on top of Mt, Guyot and Pinnacle Mountain running off from It. Guyot down into Tennessee, when as a matter of fact, the corner of Cocke and Sevier Counties is on the next point,-about 1 1/4 miles East of Mt, Guyot and is known as Cliapian's Peak, and Pinnacle Mt* leaves the top of the Great Smoky Mountains at this point. The Great Balsam Range of Its. leaves off from the top of the Smokies South about 1 l/4 miles west of Mt, Guyot, ullhead lead, of which L© Conte is the highest point, ' m ess - feOf of the Smoky Mis. at the point locally known as Jump-Off, but is shown on the Top-. Chart as ttt* Collins while the report of i-rofeesor Arnold guyet shows "t. Collins to he about icferay between the Road Galp and Indian or Collins rap« This knob, being the point where the Eeep Creek Divide rune off South from the top of the Smoky Mountains. It is about 1 l/2 miles from Read Gap to Collins Gap. What has recently been designated ae^" it. Kephart, another high elevation, being about 2 l/2 miles !£eei of the Indian or Collins Gap and about the same distance East of Ciing»an*s Borne and on which ths lleig's Post is situated, was designated by Prof. Arnold Gt^ot as being lit;. Love, named in honor of Col. Robert Love, This is the corner of the Treaty line between the Whites and the Indians and is the end of the Hawkins -line run in pursuance to the Treaty between the United States and the Indians of July 2, 1791 and the beginning of the Meigs 4 Freeman line running S. 52o50* E. la pursuance to the Treaty of October 2, 1798. Mr* Queen says from what he can hear, Tennessee people ar© trying to place "Mt* Collins where Mt* Kephart, or Love Mt, is now designated, so as to name the point shown on "Topographical Charts" as Mt. Collins, locally known as Jump-Off, in honor of Col. 1>. S, Chapman, Chairman of the Park Commission in Tennessee. According to the report of Prof* Guyot, Mt. Buckley is the first high point west of Cllagman's Dome and it is not clear whether It is on the top of the livid© or whether it is on the Seep Creek and Nolands Creek Divide, and locally known as Andrews Bald, owing to the fact that Prof. Guyot says nothing about Andrews Bald, a prominent point on a spur of the Smoky Mfcs. on the North Carolina side and it would appear that Mt* Buckley, as designated by Prof. Guyot may he tho saiao as Andrews Bald, for the reason it is higher than anything on the Smoky Mountain lead, to the west and near Clingman's Dome*
