About this map

Watts Bar Lake and the Tennessee River define the western reaches of this area, where the boundaries of Rhea, Meigs, and Roane counties converge. This 2019 survey documents a landscape where residential communities like Eden of the Lake and Blue Springs Resort sit alongside long-established rural settlements. The topography is characterized by a series of prominent ridges, including Looney Ridge, Ten Mile Ridge, and Hurricane Ridge, which dictate the local road network and drainage patterns of Ten Mile Cr and Hurricane Cr.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here, as evidenced by the high density of family and community burial grounds such as Old Pleasant Hill Cem, Deathereage Cem, and Woolsey Cem. The map provides a clear view of how newer developments like the Meigs Cabin Area have integrated into the older settlement patterns of Euchee and Ten Mile, illustrating the ongoing transformation of the Tennessee valley.
