Title : Cleveland, Tennessee, U.S.A. May 1985
Caption :
Four highly reflective reservoirs in the upper third of the photograph—large Hiwassee Lake (North Carolina), Nottley Lake (Georgia), Blue Ridge Lake (Georgia) and Lake Ocoee (Tennessee)—are partially visible in the forested Blue Ridge Mountains, part of the much larger Appalachian Mountains. Surrounded by these reservoirs is a circular, deforested area, which is probably the result of environmental degradation. West of the forested mountains is a series of paralleling, concentric arcs of darker, forested ridgelines and narrow valleys. Barely visible are south Chattanooga (bottom right) with Interstate Highway 75 and a railroad that connect Chattanooga with Cleveland, Tennessee, and Dalton, Georgia.
