Hiwassee Lake and Apalachia Lake dominate this 1957 landscape, where the Hiwassee River was harnessed for power and flood control. The engineering of the Hiwassee Dam created a distinct local geography, shaping the small settlement of Hiwassee Village nearby. While the waters altered the valley floors, the surrounding Unicoi Mountains remained home to established communities like Unaka and the now-submerged vicinity of Ogreeta.
