About this map

Watts Bar Lake and Whiteoak Lake dominate this Roane County landscape, where the Tennessee River's reach defines the topography of ridges and hollows. The settlement of Fairview sits at a crossroads south of the water, surrounded by a dense network of family and community burial grounds that provide a genealogical record of the area's residents. Features like the Slave Cemetery near Wester Bluff and the Martin Cemetery to the north highlight the deep-seated history of the land.
