About this map

Ducktown and Copperhill anchor this survey of the Copper Basin, where the industrial and natural worlds of Polk County intersect. The Ocoee River snakes through the southern landscape, accompanied by the engineering of the Ocoee Flume. This area, deeply tied to the history of mining and metallurgy, is defined by its dramatic topography, featuring names like Ketchersid Mtn and Potato Hill.

Genealogists can find several historic burial sites, including the Mount Zion Baptist Church Cem and the McJunkin Cem. The map also traces an extensive network of modern recreation trails that follow older industrial and mountain paths, such as the Old Copper Road Bike Trl and the Benton-McKaye Trl. Smaller settlements like Postelle and Chanceytown are shown along the roads leading away from the primary copper-producing centers near the Georgia border.
