About this map

Calderwood Dam and Che Oah Dam anchor this mountain landscape, marking a period of significant hydroelectric development by the Tennessee Valley Authority. The map details the complex water systems of the Little Tennessee River and Che Oah Lake, including the massive Hydro-Electric Tunnel network. Amidst the protected lands of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Nantahala National Forest, the topography shows isolated human footprints like the Bethel Ch and Beers Sch. Genealogical researchers can locate family sites such as Farley Cem and Orr Cem tucked into the steep ridges. The Appalachian Trail winds through the high ground at Deals Gap, while a solitary Gold Mine and the community of Tapoco hint at the diverse economic history of these high mountain gaps.
