About this map

Lake Ocoee and the Ocoee River serve as the central landmarks of this mountain terrain, where industrial history meets forest conservation. The presence of Ocoee Power Plant 2 and the Ocoee No 2 Reservation Boundary reflects the region's early 20th-century hydro-electric development, supported by specialized infrastructure like the Flume and Tramway. This landscape, documented by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Forest Service, is a patchwork of public recreation and family heritage.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds, including Price Cem, Beckler Cem, and Old Fairview Cem, situated near family settlements like Fords. The map also traces the long-distance Benton MacKaye Trail as it winds through the Cherokee National Forest and into the Big Frog Wilderness, marking a transition from developed sites like the Mac Point Recreation Area to the remote ridges of Peavine Mountain.
