Question: How many people live in the area maintained by the Cherokee National Forest?
Context: The Cohutta Wilderness was designated in 1975, expanded in 1986, and currently consists of 36977 acre .  Approximately 35268 acre are located in Georgia in the Chattahoochee National Forest and approximately 1709 acre are located in Tennessee in the Cherokee National Forest.  The Wilderness is managed by the United States Forest Service in Tennessee and is part of the National Wilderness Preservation System. Bridger National Forest was first established by the U.S. Forest Service on July 1, 1911 in Wyoming with 577580 acre from part of Bonneville National Forest.  On May 14, 1923 Bridger was transferred Wyoming National Forest, and the name was discontinued.  On March 10, 1943 Wyoming was renamed Bridger.  In 1973 Bridger National Forest was administratively combined with Teton National Forest, creating Bridger-Teton National Forest.  In descending order of land area, Bridger National Forest lands are located in Sublette, Lincoln, Fremont, and Teton counties.  There are local ranger district offices in Afton, Big Piney, Kemmerer, and Pinedale.  Its administrative headquarters reside in Jackson, Wyoming as part of the combined Bridger-Teton National Forest.  Its current area of 1,736,075 acres (7,025.65 km²) represents 51.02% of the combined Bridger-Teton's area of 3,402,644 acres (13,770.01 km²).  The forest includes all of the National Wilderness Preservation System's officially designated Bridger Wilderness. The Coconino National Forest is a 1.856-million acre (751,000 ha) United States National Forest located in northern Arizona in the vicinity of Flagstaff.  Originally established in 1898 as the "San Francisco Mountains National Forest Reserve", the area was designated a U.S. National Forest in 1908 when the San Francisco Mountains National Forest Reserve was merged with lands from other surrounding forest reserves to create the Coconino National Forest.  Today, the Coconino National Forest contains diverse landscapes, including deserts, ponderosa pine forests, flatlands, mesas, alpine tundra, and ancient volcanic peaks.  The forest surrounds the towns of Sedona and Flagstaff and borders four other national forests; the Kaibab National Forest to the west and northwest, the Prescott National Forest to the southwest, the Tonto National Forest to the south, and the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest to the southeast.  The forest contains all or parts of ten designated wilderness areas, including the Kachina Peaks Wilderness, which includes the summit of the San Francisco Peaks.  The headquarters are in Flagstaff.  There are local ranger district offices in Flagstaff, Happy Jack, and Sedona. Wasp was a community located in Cocke County, in the U.S. state of Tennessee.  Situated in the upper Wolf Creek Valley in the rugged eastern part of the county, Wasp thrived as an Appalachian agrarian community in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.  In the 1930s, the United States Forest Service purchased Wasp and its surrounding homesteads as part of an initiative to restore the Wolf Creek watershed (which had been logged), and the community was abandoned.  Today, the ruins of Wasp have been designated a "Historically Significant" area, and are maintained by the Cherokee National Forest.  The ruins of Wasp provide a rare instance of the preservation of a complete early 20th-century Appalachian community's archaeological remains. Cache National Forest is a 533,840-acre area of National Forest System land in Idaho and Utah which was established on July 1, 1908 by the U.S. Forest Service.  The majority of its area is in Utah, and was initially created when the Bear River National Forest was disbanded.  On July 1, 1915, all of Pocatello National Forest was added.  In 1973 the Idaho portion was transferred to the administration of Caribou National Forest, while the Utah portion was combined administratively with Wasatch National Forest, creating the Wasatch-Cache National Forest.  In descending order of forestland area, the Cache National Forest portion is located in Cache, Bear Lake, Franklin, Weber, Rich, Box Elder, Caribou, and Morgan counties.  (Bear Lake, Franklin, and Caribou counties are in Idaho, and the rest in Utah.)  The forest has a current area of 701453 acre , which comprises 43.56% of the combined Wasatch-Cache's total acreage.  The forest is administered from Salt Lake City, Utah as part of the Wasatch-Cache National Forest, but there are local ranger district offices in Logan and Ogden.  From circa 1911 until August 1923, the area was roamed by Old Ephraim. The Unicoi Mountains are a mountain range rising along the border between Tennessee and North Carolina in the southeastern United States.  They are part of the Blue Ridge Mountain Province of the Southern Appalachian Mountains.  The Unicois are located immediately south of the Great Smoky Mountains and immediately west of the Cheoah Mountains.  Most of the range is protected as a national forest, namely the Cherokee National Forest on the Tennessee side and the Nantahala National Forest on the North Carolina side— although some parts have been designated as wilderness areas and are thus more strictly regulated. Wasatch National Forest was established as the Wasatch Forest Reserve by the U.S. Forest Service in Utah on August 16, 1906 with 86440 acre to the east of Salt Lake City and Provo.  It became a National Forest on March 4, 1907.  On July 1, 1908 Grantsville National Forest and Salt Lake National Forest were added.  In 1973 Wasatch was combined administratively with Cache National Forest, creating Wasatch-Cache National Forest.  In descending order of acreage, the Wasatch National Forest portion is located in Summit, Tooele, Salt Lake, Davis, Uinta (Wyoming), Duchesne, Wasatch, Morgan, Utah, Weber, and Juab counties in Utah except Uinta, which is in southwestern Wyoming.  Its total area was 908731 acre , comprising 56.44% of the combined Wasatch-Cache's 1610184 acre as of 2008.  There are local ranger district offices in Kamas and Salt Lake City in Utah, and in Evanston and Mountain View in Wyoming.  Administrative headquarters reside with the combined Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in South Jordan, Utah. The Big Frog Wilderness was designated in 1984 and currently consists of 8082 acre .  Approximately 89 acre are located in Georgia in the Chattahoochee National Forest and approximately 7993 acre are located in Tennessee in the Cherokee National Forest.  The Wilderness is managed by the United States Forest Service in Tennessee and is part of the National Wilderness Preservation System. Appalachia ( ) is a cultural region in the Eastern United States that stretches from the Southern Tier of New York to northern Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia.  While the Appalachian Mountains stretch from Belle Isle (Newfoundland and Labrador) in Canada to Cheaha Mountain in Alabama, the cultural region of Appalachia typically refers only to the central and southern portions of the range.  As of the 2010 United States Census, the region was home to approximately 25 million people. The Palouse Forest Reserve and after March 4, 1907, the Palouse National Forest was established by Presidential Proclamation (34 U.S. Statutes at Large 3293) on March 2, 1907 and was one of President Theodore Roosevelt's Midnight forests, created before the federal law banning new forest reserves in six western states, including Idaho, became effective.  The conventional wisdom has the name ‘palouse’ being derived from the French term for the large treeless plain region in eastern Washington stretching into Idaho: the Palouse, a word meaning grassy spot or place.  However, Boone says that the name could originate from the name of a major village of Palouse Indians, Palus, located at the confluence of the Palouse and Snake Rivers.  'Palus' is the Sachapin Indian word for “something sticking down in the water,” in this case the something was a large rock, thought to be a beaver’s heart, and which had an important religious significance for the Palouse Indians.  The Palouse National Forest had its administrative headquarters in the town of Wallace, Idaho for its 15-month existence and was administered by the U.S. Forest Service with 194404 acre .  With the issuance of Executive Order 843 by President Roosevelt on June 26, 1908, with an effective date of July 1, 1908, the entire forest was absorbed by the Coeur d'Alene National Forest and the area ceased to be an independently administered national forest.  The lands of the former Palouse National Forest were then administered as part of the Coeur d’Alene National Forest for three years before being combined with other lands to establish the St. Joe National Forest on July 1, 1911.  The area of the former Palouse National Forest formed the western portion of the St. Joe National Forest.  Once transferred in 1911, the area of the Palouse National Forest became the Palouse Ranger District of the St. Joe National Forest and is still considered part of the St. Joe National Forest.  However, it has been administered by the Clearwater National Forest since the 1973 administrative merger of the Kaniksu National Forest, Coeur d’Alene, and St. Joe National Forests into the Idaho Panhandle National Forests.
