Pulling up a parcel
Begin with the Tennessee Property Viewer; it covers every tax parcel in the county, Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area included. Without an address in hand, pan along US Route 127 until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want, which applies near Midway as much as anywhere. With a lot near Wolf River, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and often a sale date.
Is the tract reachable?
Confirm the parcel touches a public road or has a recorded easement, since a tract near Wolf River without access can be a headache.
Offices that can help
Anything recorded against property around Cedar Grove sit in the index kept by the Register of Deeds, often with an online index. Questions about what you can build around Cedar Grove go to planning, building or health offices, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
What the deed may not include
In some areas, mineral or timber rights near Moodyville can be sold separately, so read the deed and ask the title company.

Taking the map into the field
