This 33,055-acre tract 200 in Cataloochee was owned by Suncrest Lumber Company. While many believe that the Great Smoky Mountains was made up of small family farms, in reality, 18 lumber companies together owned about 85 percent of the proposed park area. One of those was Suncrest, which timbered thousands of acres in Cataloochee and operated a mill in nearby Waynesville, North Carolina. After most logging operations ceased in the late 1920s, Suncrest continued, challenging the constitutionality of the North Carolina Park Commission’s acquisition of land. In 1929, Suncrest lost its case after appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court and its land subsequently purchased for the park.
