Great Smoky Mountains

This map collection was created to celebrate The Great Smoky Mountains and entice viewers to experience their outdoor environments with wonder. During a 5-week artist residency in Knoxville, Tennessee, Emma documented her first hikes in the National Park through three lenses - as a cartographer, amateur botanist and storyteller. Each map includes a scaled drawing of the trail route, vignettes of the route’s idiosyncrasies, geology studies and botanical illustrations. Inspired by the singular landscape, these maps were created to chart her routes and the richness of their environments, with the hope of inspiring others to be more present in their outdoor experiences.
