1957 Map of Big Junction

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Hemlock Knob Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over this high-elevation boundary between Tennessee and North Carolina, where the Cherokee National Forest and Nantahala National Forest meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of high ridges, including Sassafras Ridge and the prominent Big Junction summit, which marks the convergence of Monroe, Graham, and Cherokee counties. Down in the valley of the Tellico River, the Pheasant Field Rearing Pools indicate a focus on wildlife management and conservation within the Cherokee Wildlife Management Area.
