About this map

Cherokee serves as the focal point of the Cherokee Indian Reservation in the late 1960s, showing a landscape defined by the convergence of the Oconaluftee River and Soco Creek. The map captures a moment of significant cultural and recreational infrastructure, featuring the Oconaluftee Indian Village, the Mountainside Theater, and tourist attractions like Santa's Land and Frontierland. Beyond the main settlements, the terrain is dotted with small family and community sites like Birdtown Cem, Lambert Cem, and Patterson Chapel Ch.
