Ghost Town of Cherokee County

These people created hundreds of new buildings and complete cities where they did not exist to use the gold as their lively hood. And since there was no other source of income for the towns, they fell as soon as the gold sources depleted. This is the reason that today most towns located far off in the woods without proper roads leading to them.
