About this map

Maryville and Alcoa serve as the industrial and educational anchors for this section of Blount County, where the sprawling Mc Ghee Tyson Airport and extensive aluminum processing facilities meet the residential expansion of East Springbrook and Meadowbrook. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little River, which snakes past Eagleton Village and Rockford before joining the Tennessee River at Port Loudoun Lake.

Cultural history is preserved at the Sam Houston School and the campus of Maryville College, while the rail infrastructure of the Southern RR and L & N RR—including segments of Dismantled RR—reflects the area's logistical evolution. High ground to the east, including High Top and Gravelly Mtn, provides a sharp contrast to the developed lowlands. Notable local sites like Old Mount Lebanon Cem and Wilder Cem offer specific touchpoints for genealogical research in this 1970s suburban and industrial corridor.
