The Panthertown Map Association has donated $7,500 to Friends of Panthertown.

Panthertown Map Association is the nonprofit publisher of Burt Kornegay’s “A Guide’s Guide to Panthertown,” which has become the definitive map of the valley, showing both official and unofficial trails. Over the years, Kornegay has given portions of the proceeds to various nonprofits that support, protect and maintain Panthertown. Now retired from his guiding trips, Kornegay has formed the Panthertown Map Association to manage map sales and updates, with proceeds benefiting Panthertown. 

The guide is available at local retailers and online at www.panthertownmap.com.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.
