Burra Burra Mine and the Hiwassee Mine anchor the landscape around Ducktown, reflecting the deep industrial roots of the Copper Basin in Polk County. This 2003 revision by the USDA Forest Service highlights a region defined by its rugged geography and the massive Ocoee No 3 Lake reservoir system. The map captures the infrastructure of the Ocoee River, including the Ocoee No 3 Powerhouse and the Ocoee Whitewater Center, which became famous for hosting international competitions. Away from the water, the terrain is dominated by the Little Frog Wilderness and high points like Smith Mountain. Local history is preserved in family-named landmarks such as Jenkins Grave and Hedden Grave, while the L & N RR follows the bends of the river, serving as the historical backbone for hauling minerals from the Boyd Mine.
