LUMADAHA, ON THE CAROLINA-TENNESSEE LINE Geographical Situation of The Smokies MIDWAY between the Atlantic and the Mississippi, midway between the Great Lakes and the Gulf, and nearer the center of population of the United States than any other mountains that have extended scenic attraction, the Great Smoky Mountains are easily accessible to all the eastern half of the country, half the population of the nation living within five to six hundred miles of this new National Park. Take a map and draw circles one hundred miles apart, with the park area in the center, and you will find Knoxville and Asheville just outside the Park, both cities being only a few miles from the boundary lines, with Chattanooga and Bristol within the first zone or 100-mile radius. Atlanta, Birmingham, Nashville, Lexington, Bristol, Spartanburg and Columbia are within the 200-mile radius. Macon, Montgomery. Louisville, Cincinnati, Roanoke, Lynchburg, Winston-Salem, Raleigh and Charlotte are all in the 300-mile zone. The 400-mile circle takes in Jacksonville, Mobile, Jackson, Memphis, Indianapolis, Columbus, Washington, Richmond, Norfolk, Willmington, Charleston, Savannah. In the fifth zone, 400 to 500 miles away, are St. Augus tine, Little Rock, St. Louis, Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburg and Philadelphia, with New Orleans in the sixth zone and New York just outside this circle. On page 10 of this book will be found a map indicating routes from the principal cities of the eastern part of the United States to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. GREGORY S BALD
