About this map

The industrial and agricultural landscape of Polk County is defined here by the Ocoee River and the copper-rich corridor around Ducktown. The Tennessee Valley Authority influence is evident through the presence of the Tenn Elec Pwr Co Dam No 2 and extensive transmission lines following the river's winding course. Mining heritage is anchored by the Burra Burra Mine and the Old Tennessee Mine, which were central to the local economy alongside the Louisville and Nashville Railroad that serviced Ducktown Station and Stansbury Siding.
