1964 Map of Calderwood

About this map

The Little Tennessee River corridor defines this 1964 survey, capturing the landscape just as the impounded waters of Chilhowee Lake and Calderwood Lake reshaped the valley floor. The settlement of Calderwood sits near the river's edge, marked by an industrial Quarry, while the small community of Happy Valley remains tucked into the northwestern corner beneath Chilhowee Mountain. Much of the eastern terrain is protected within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, where a network of trails like the Bridle Path and Cooper Road wind through complex ridges such as Hannah Mountain and Deadrick Ridge. Local history details are preserved in the naming of remote landmarks like Parson High Top, Chilhowee Ch, and the high elevation of Parson Bald along the North Carolina state line.
