The Turkey Pen Property Monroe County, TN +/‐ 3,251 Acres The Turkey Pen Property Monroe County, TN +/‐ 3,251 Acres The Turkey Pen property is one of the last, large tracts of unbroken privately held lands remaining in the southern Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee. This unique property is a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase a significant tract almost entirely surrounded by public land that can never be developed or disturbed. Situated in the foothills of the Smokies and only an hour drive from Knoxville or Chattanooga, the property has both remote beauty and convenience to two major cities. Property Overview The current owners have owned the property since 1998 and, prior to their ownership, the property was held by the same family for several generations. Formerly known as Turkey Pen Retreat, the property was once operated as a country lodge and retreat greeting visitors from all over. With over 3 miles of county road frontage on both sides of Mount Pleasant Road, the access is exceptional for a property of this size. Once on the property, there are over 13 miles of maintained, interior roads that are well‐ gated along the county road for security. Recreation The property offers endless opportunities for the outdoor life style. In additon to the interior roads, there are over 7 miles of maintained trails for hiking, equestrian rides, and ATV riding. Along the private roads and trails, there are 21 cleared sites, each strategiacally situated on high knolls providing scenic vistas and game feeding sites. Another noteworthy attribute is the nearly 4,000’ feet of frontage along Chilhowee Lake, where Bolden Knight Bluff provides fine views of the lake and National Park beyond. Hunting opportunities include black bear, white tail deer, wild hogs, eastern wild turkey, and ruffed grouse. There is great fishing and boating on Tellico Lake, Chillhowie Lake, and Citico Creek. Facilities In the center of the property, there is a rustic, nine bedroom lodge with kitchen and dining area; a one room, two bath caretaker’s quarters; and a barn and storage building. Further out, there is a one bedroom Carringer cabin and the historic Happy Top Church. All of the facilities are currently usable but will need modern upgrades to renew their full potential. Mature Natural Forest A mature forest encompasses most of the property. White pine, hemlock, yellow pine, mixed oak, hickory, and yellow poplar comprise the majority of the species found on the property. The forest was completely inventoried by professional foresters in the fall of 2014. Timber information is available upon request. Cultural Significance Cultural significance of Turkey Pen dates back to the Cherokee who once roamed and lived on and around the property.Two Cherokee historic sites, the original Tellico Village and the birth place of Sequoyah, are both nearby. Following the Cherokee, the land was one of the first areas settled by Europeans west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Historic Fort Loudon and Sequoyah Birth Place Museum are along the road leading to the property. Turkey Pen still resembles the area these early settlers and Native Americans lived on with almost untouched beauty and serenity. Conservation Opportunity The conservation value of this property is very high given its juxtiposition to Chilhowee Lake, the National Park and Forest Service lands, and other protected forests held by The Nature Conservancy. Although inhabited by many generations of people who farmed and lived off the natural resources, the land has reverted back to a mature forest over most of the property. There are still a few signs of once tended fields and old home sites where multiple generations of mountain people raised their families. However, the forest has almost erased all signs of this past disturbance. The hillsides are now covered by a mature hardwood and natural pine forest that runs unbroken from the Cherokee National Forest over to the Nature Conservancy lands around Chilhowie Lake. Among the hillsides are streams such as Carringer Creek, Miry Branch, and Mulberry Branch that flow through deep coves with towering trees reaching for a glimpse of sunlight. Summary Turkey Pen is one of the few remaining large properties adjacent to the Cherokee National Forest and at the foot of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This could be the last time this property is available for private ownership. The property provides an excellent opportunity for the buyer seeking a significant scenic landscape with immense privacy and protection provided by its noteworthy, forever‐ wild neighborng lands. Here, a unique recreational retreat can be developed that would recognize the signifigance of its natural resources.

  • Cherokee Ethnogenesis in Southwestern North Carolina
    The following chapter is from: The Archaeology of North Carolina: Three Archaeological Symposia Charles R. Ewen – Co-Editor Thomas R. Whyte – Co-Editor R. P. Stephen Davis, Jr. – Co-Editor North Carolina Archaeological Council Publication Number 30 2011 Available online at: http://www.rla.unc.edu/NCAC/Publications/NCAC30/index.html CHEROKEE ETHNOGENESIS IN SOUTHWESTERN NORTH CAROLINA Christopher B. Rodning Dozens of Cherokee towns dotted the river valleys of the Appalachian Summit province in southwestern North Carolina during the eighteenth century (Figure 16-1; Dickens 1967, 1978, 1979; Perdue 1998; Persico 1979; Shumate et al. 2005; Smith 1979). What developments led to the formation of these Cherokee towns? Of course, native people had been living in the Appalachian Summit for thousands of years, through the Paleoindian, Archaic, Woodland, and Mississippi periods (Dickens 1976; Keel 1976; Purrington 1983; Ward and Davis 1999). What are the archaeological correlates of Cherokee culture, when are they visible archaeologically, and what can archaeology contribute to knowledge of the origins and development of Cherokee culture in southwestern North Carolina? Archaeologists, myself included, have often focused on the characteristics of pottery and other artifacts as clues about the development of Cherokee culture, which is a valid approach, but not the only approach (Dickens 1978, 1979, 1986; Hally 1986; Riggs and Rodning 2002; Rodning 2008; Schroedl 1986a; Wilson and Rodning 2002). In this paper (see also Rodning 2009a, 2010a, 2011b), I focus on the development of Cherokee towns and townhouses. Given the significance of towns and town affiliations to Cherokee identity and landscape during the 1700s (Boulware 2011; Chambers 2010; Smith 1979), I suggest that tracing the development of towns and townhouses helps us understand Cherokee ethnogenesis, more generally.

  • Tennessee Reference Stream Morphology and Large Woody Debris Assessment
    Tennessee Reference Stream Morphology and Large Woody Debris Assessment Report and Guidebook Prepared for: Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation Prepared by: Jennings Environmental, LLC December 2017 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report includes reference stream morphology and large woody debris data collected throughout Tennessee in 2015-2017. Hydraulic geometry data are presented as regional curves for Ecoregions 66, 67, 68/69, 71, and 65/74 to support stream assessment and restoration planning. Morphology relationships describe bankfull channel dimensions, pattern, and profile measurements in relation to channel-forming discharge and watershed drainage area. Large woody debris (LWD) data collected at reference streams serve as an indicator of natural stream conditions in forested floodplains. These databases and relationships are valuable for assessing disturbed streams to evaluate degree of departure from equilibrium, selecting and planning restoration projects to improve natural stream functions, and monitoring changes in stream conditions in undisturbed and restored stream systems. These databases should be supplemented with additional information collected during site assessment and restoration planning to improve understanding of local stream conditions throughout Tennessee. The morphology data collection included 114 undisturbed streams ranging in width from 3 to 132 feet with watershed drainage areas ranging from 0.02 to 117 square miles. Wherever available, United States Geological Survey (USGS) gage station sites were surveyed to provide long-term hydrologic information close to the reference stream. Bankfull stage indicators at a USGS gage provided the opportunity to quantify the channel-forming discharge and exceedance probability of this flow event. For reference streams with no gages, natural equilibrium stream segments with clearly identifiable incipient-floodplain bankfull stage indicators were surveyed to determine morphology parameters.

  • The Late Mississippian Period (AD 1350-1500) - Draft
    SECTION IV: The Mississippian Period in Tennessee Chapter 12: The Late Mississippian Period (AD 1350-1500) - Draft By Michaelyn Harle, Shannon D. Koerner, and Bobby R. Braly 1 Introduction Throughout the Mississippian world this time period appears to be a time of great social change. In eastern Tennessee, Dallas Phase sites further elaborated on the Mississippian lifeway, becoming highly organized and home to political leaders. Settlements were sometimes quite extensive (i.e., the Dallas, Toqua, and Ledford Island sites with deep middens, often a palisade wall, sometimes with bastions, densely packed domestic structures, and human interments throughout the village area and also in mounds. Elsewhere in the region, there is evidence that much of West Tennessee and parts of the Cumberland-Tennessee valley were either abandoned by Mississippian societies or so fundamentally reorganized that they were rendered archaeologically invisible. This abandonment appears to be part of a larger regional trend of large portions of the Central Mississippi Valley, often referred to as the vacant quarter. A number of motives for this abandonment have been provided including the dissolution of Cahokia, increased intra- regional warfare, and environmental shifts associated with the onslaught of the Little Ice Age (Meeks 2006; Cobb and Butler 2002; Williams 1983, 1990). This two sides of the continium is important since it gives us a more microscopic glimpse of what was being played out in the larger pan-Mississippian stage. Regional and temporal refinements that are currently in progress gives us a unique perspective into the similarities and differences in which Tennessee Mississippian societies reacted to this unstable period.
