About this map

Lake Ocoee and the winding Ocoee River define the northern corridor of this Polk County landscape, which includes the specialized industrial infrastructure of the Ocoee Flume. The area is characterized by concentrated recreational and organizational hubs, such as the Camp Cherokee Organization Camp, McCroy 4-H Camp, and Sylco Campground. Moving south from the river valley, the terrain ascends into a complex system of ridges and leads, including Peavine Mountain and Yellow Stand Lead.

Small settlements and clearings like Sylco and Dutch Fields are tucked among the gaps and branches, connected by a network of forest roads like Big Frog Rd. The map reveals a high density of named geographic features, from Chimneytop to Blue Ridge Gap, which provide essential reference points for researchers studying the historical land use and topography of this pocket of the Cherokee National Forest.
