2013 Map of Whittier

About this map

Oconaluftee Indian Village and the town of Cherokee serve as the cultural and geographical focus of this mountain landscape. The area is defined by the convergence of the Oconaluftee River and the Tuckasegee River, where the historic Whittier settlement sits near the banks of Tuc-a-segee Lake. Cultural landmarks like the Mountainside Theater and the Mount Noble Lookout Tower overlook a terrain carved into named ridges and gaps, including Rattlesnake Mountain and Rocky Knob.
