About this map

Scott Creek serves as the primary corridor through these mountains, carrying the Southern railroad and connecting the riverside settlements of Addie, Beta, and Willets. The landscape is defined by the high ridges of the Plott Balsams and the Divide Ridge, where many small family and community landmarks are recorded. Notable sites include the Norman Cem near Ochre Hill Ch, and the Liberty Sch situated south of the rail line.

Large federally managed areas converge here, including portions of the Cherokee Indian Reservation Qualla Tract to the northwest and the Nantahala National Forest spanning the southern reaches. The emergence of early 20th-century tourism and transportation is visible via the Blue Ridge Parkway as it winds toward Soco Gap, passing the landmark Soco Falls. The density of benchmarks, such as BM LHT 895, reflects the intensive 1941 field examination conducted by the Tennessee Valley Authority.
