About this map

Ocoee Power Plant No 2 and the Old Copper Road define the industrial and transportation character of this mountain corridor in the late 1960s. The landscape is dominated by the Ocoee Wildlife Management Area and the Cherokee National Forest, showing a region dedicated to conservation and utility. The Ocoee River snakes through the terrain, flanked by an Incline and Tramway that hints at the steep technical requirements of local power generation and historical timber or mining operations.

Genealogists and local historians can locate long-standing community markers such as Fairview Ch and the Old Fairview Cem near Eaststep Gap. Farther south, the Curbow Cem and the Sheeds Creek Checking Station reflect the remote but organized settlement patterns near the Tennessee Blue Ridge. The presence of recreation sites like Mac Point Recreation Area demonstrates the shift toward public land use alongside the working river.
