The viewer Roane County publishes

Closer to Oak Ridge, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. For land near Oliver Springs, write down the parcel ID from that panel; each clerk in the county will want it.
City limits and county records

On ground around Harriman, City or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Acreage past the town limits near Rockwood usually answers to county rules instead.
Land on the county line
