[3] The Coosawattee River leaves the dam flowing west (directly into the Reregulation Reservoir).

Near New Echota, a late capital of the Cherokee Nation (1794-1907) before removal in 1838, the Coosawattee meets the Conasauga River.

[4] This area was the center of Cherokee Nation territory in north Georgia and southeastern Tennessee.

In the early 1820s, after having migrated from eastern Tennessee after being forced by the United States to cede their lands there, they made New Echota their capital.
