About this map

Thorpe Lake dominates the central landscape of this Jackson County survey, showcasing the high-elevation reservoir as it appeared following its mid-century development. The Tuckasegee River enters from the northeast, its course modified by industrial infrastructure including a Power Plant, Surge Tank, and a significant Hydroelectric Tunnel that cuts through the mountains toward Pilot Mtn. The surrounding terrain is defined by the Cowee Mountains and Nantahal Mountains, where isolated communities and landmarks persist within the Nantahala National Forest.
