Tusquitee RAWS site information

This U.S. Forest Service site is located near Hiwassee Lake around five miles southwest of Murphy in Cherokee County of southwest North Carolina (Nantahala National Forest). The site is located on a plateau (flat terrain) at an elevation around 1787 feet MSL, with good exposure to the wind in all directions. An arm of the Hiwassee Lake is less than 1 mile to the west and around 80 feet lower in elevation than the RAWS. Since the station is not located on a mountain, slope rules do not apply. Mostly grassy (mowed) vegetation surrounds the RAWS site for around 200 yards.
