This small map shows the Cherokee lands of western North Carolina. It locates a number of Cherokee villages including Tawuntoe, Sugar Town, Eones and Tuckalechee to name a few. The map also notes a "Division Line in 1809 between the Upper and Lower Towns," referring to a boundary within the Cherokee nation delineating those who wanted to establish a government (upper towns) and those that wanted to live traditionally (lower towns). The map was originally issued at the back of a 233-page House report concerning "Cherokee Disturbances" (not present here).
