So, I am the keeper of the majority of old Balyeat pictures, going back to the 1930s. My family has been going to the Smoky Mountains almost as long as it has been a national park, I think. I found pictures from Norris Dam that had to have been taken either before Fontana Dam was completed, or not long after it was completed. I also found pictures from Newfound Gap, Alum Cave Bluff, some of the old (but not so old back then) homesteads and farms, Fontana and Cades Cove. Below are some pictures from Abram's Fall through the years.
The Falls circa 1940s or 1950s - the picture was not dated, but based on other pictures of the same print quality, I guess 1940s/1950s
The Falls circa 1976 / 1978ish
Sarah and I at the falls, 1992
The hike, 1996 (definitely much more leisurely and relaxing than this last one)
