2016 Map of Meadow

About this map

Greenback and Friendsville anchor this 2016 survey along the complex border of Loudon and Blount Counties. The landscape is defined by the winding reaches of Tellico Lake and the northern presence of Fort Loudoun Lake, reflecting the transformative impact of mid-century water projects on the Tennessee River valley. Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including the Unitia Cem, McDonald Cem, and Morganton Cem, which often represent the final vestiges of older riverside settlements. The area shows a transition from traditional rural patterns to modern infrastructure, represented by the Village Airport and residential developments like those near Lotterdale Knob. Numerous named hollows and knobs, such as Negro Hollow and Alexander Knob, provide a detailed view of the localized topography that shaped the early road networks and farming boundaries of the region.
