2011 Map of Caney Creek

About this map

The Ocoee River defines the northern landscape of this region, serving as the backdrop for the small settlement of Caney Creek and the infrastructure of the Ocoee Flume. This survey illustrates a terrain of high ridges and deep hollows, where the timber and recreation economies intersect. To the south, the community of Sylco and the Sylco Campground are situated near the junction of Sylco Creek Rd and numerous mountain trails. Genealogists and local researchers will find several family and community burial sites scattered across the ridges, including Price Cemetery, Beckler Cemetery, and Old Fairview Cemetery. The map also captures specialized facilities like the Thornburg Shooting Range and the Camp Cherokee Organization Camp, reflecting the area's use for managed outdoor recreation and forest service operations.
