2011 Map of Spring City

About this map

The waters of Watts Bar Lake dominate this Rhea County landscape, surrounding numerous islands and peninsulas such as Barker Island and the Dickey Bluff Peninsula. Along the western shore, the town of Spring City serves as a hub for both residents and visitors, supported by recreation sites like the Spring City Dock and the Estes Resort Rhea Harbor. The map reveals a high density of family cemeteries, including Leuty Cemetery on Cemetery Island and the McClendon Cemetery further inland, providing a detailed record for those tracing local lineages. Natural features like Upper Piney Falls and Lower Piney Falls characterize the higher ground to the northwest near the Grandview Post Office. This intersection of the Tennessee River system and the established settlements highlights the region's transition into a modern recreational and residential area while preserving its deep-rooted rural history.
