Oconaluftee Indian Village
on the
 Oconaluftee River in Swain County NC
Click in the box in upper right corner of this map to see a map that overlaps that part of this map & extends beyond this map to the north & west. Click below the line 1/5 down from top of this map to see the map (at TopoZone) centered on Cherokee NC which extends further east, west, & south than this map, but not above the line.
This is part of Whittier NC 7�' USGS 1:25,000 Topo Quadrangle Sheet
To see more of this quad east, west, & south sides of the south 4/5 of this map (the original part of this map), click on the south 4/5 of this map, below the line.  It will take you to TopoZone.Com where I got the original part of this map.
To get the above map, I combined 2 tiles (maps) wide by 4 tiles tall = 8 tiles (maps) from TopoZone, changed it to a gif, decreased the brightness & increased the contrast & reduced the colors to 4 bit color (16 colors), resulting in a 61,892 byte gif.
I redid the words "Oconaluftee" & "Indian" on the above map to make it more readable.
This map was needed because Oconaluftee was not on NC DOT's NC Road map nor other maps I found.  It was not even in TopoZone's index.  I kept forgetting where it was.  Now I will be able to see it is just north of the town of Cherokee NC, which is on the DOT state road map.
29 Nov. 2001 I added one row of 2 tiles to the north end of this map.  Mac Hayes had just sent an email saying the HUGHES family of the wife of his ancestor, Wm R. Killian, have a family cemetery hidden somewhere in the Ravensford area.  I was looking to see how many tiles I'd have to add to reach Ravensford & added the row of two tiles just mentioned.  I decided to add enough to reach Ravensford, I would have to widen the map a couple of tiles (thus doubling the width of the map) & extend it 2 more tiles to the north & that would make the map so big it would load too slow & that still would not begin to cover the cemeteries on Raven Fork, so people just as well go to Topozone & look at Ravensford & Raven Fork for themselves.  Just adding the 2 new tiles to the above map has increased it from 61,892 to 77,489 bytes being made of 10 tiles now.  When Mac finds the precise cemetery of interest, I may add tiles to reach that cemetery.
