2010 Map of Meadow

About this map

Greenback and the surrounding Tennessee landscape are defined by the convergence of water and industry in this 2010 topographic study. The Little Tennessee River and Tellico Lake dominate the southwestern quadrant, where the submerged geography of Lower Morganton Shoals and Upper Morganton Shoals hints at the historic river navigation that preceded the damming. The map serves as a vital record for genealogists, detailing numerous family and community burial grounds such as Unitia Cemetery, Axley Cemetery, and Morganton Cemetery. Local industry is prominent through a cluster of resource extraction sites including Buzzards Roost Quarry, Crisp Quarry, and Alexander Quarry. Higher elevations like Alexander Knob and the Red Knobs provide a clear view of the transition from the river valley into the broken terrain of Hickory Valley, while the National Camp Ground reflects the area's social and religious heritage.
