DiscussionNew Echota and the Cherokee routes

About Southeastern trail system, 1928

New Echota, near Calhoun, was the Cherokee Nation's capital from 1825 until removal in 1838; it's now a state historic site. Myer's 1928 plate shows the trails that converged in that part of north Georgia.

Which of those routes do modern roads follow? And what sources describe the trails used during removal?
