Tuckasegee River (N.C.)

Island Street in downtown Bryson City is flooded from the nearby Tuckasegee River. Ok Discount Furniture is in the foreground and the Bryson City Car Wash is in the background. This photo is from the Tuckaseigee Soil & Water Conservation District, which was formed in western North Carolina in 1957 and became the Swain Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) in 1982. The Swain SWCD’s mission is to provide for a quality environment and higher standard of living while protecting natural resources. The Swain SWCD photographs capture various SWCD projects throughout Swain, Jackson, Graham, Haywood, and surrounding counties in western North Carolina.
