About this map

Chilhowee Lake and Calderwood Lake dominate the southwestern corner of this survey, where the Little Tennessee River winds through the borderlands of Tennessee and North Carolina. The settlement of Calderwood sits near the base of Bunker Hill, which is topped by the Bunker Hill Lookout Tower. To the northeast, the terrain rises into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, where the high slopes of Hannah Mountain and Wolf Ridge are etched with trails like the Rabbit Creek Trail.

Evidence of local life and infrastructure appears in the Happy Valley area, anchored by the Chilhowee Ch and the newly developing Foothills Parkway. The landscape is a complex network of ridges and gaps, such as Abrams Ridge and Shaw Grave Gap, reflecting the difficult navigation of the region before modern access. Notable landmarks like Abrams Falls and a local Quarry suggest a balance between preserved wilderness and localized resource extraction during the mid-1960s.
