The Oconaluftee Indian Village and the community of Cherokee serve as the cultural heart of this North Carolina landscape, where the Oconaluftee River joins the Tuckasegee River. This modern survey reveals a complex network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including Bia HWY 420 and Bia HWY 414, which connect the tribal townships of Birdtown, Paint Town, and Qualla. The map provides significant genealogical value through its dense recording of family and community burial sites, from the Stamper Cem and Nations Cem in the east to the Owl Cem and Jones Cem further west.
