Cataloochee tract 305: Boyd, Clark, and Moody

  • record image
  • Tract 305, on the Cataloochee-Jonathan Creeks Divide, was jointly owned by R.T. Boyd, C.M. Moody, and G.C. Clark. While, in general, the Great Smoky Mountains region was sparsely populated, the Cataloochee Valley remained an exception. By 1900, the population of Cataloochee had grown to 1,000 residents living in hundreds of log and frame homes. A few historic buildings have been preserved on site, including two churches, a school, several homes, and outbuildings. The North Carolina Park Commission was tasked with purchasing land for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and people living in Cataloochee were among those displaced. Cataloochee families continue to return for annual reunions. In 2001, the National Park Service re-introduced elk into the valley.
