Copper Basin defines the industrial and geographic character of this borderland where Tennessee and North Carolina meet. The landscape is marked by the complex relationship between resource extraction and the surrounding natural environment, most visible in the London Mills Tailings Pond and City Services Renton Pond near Ducktown. Small communities like Isabella, Burger Town, and McGeetown are scattered throughout the hills, many supported by a network of local churches and family burial grounds such as Bethlehem Cem and the Mount Harmony Baptist Church Cem.
