The free map to start with
If you're looking near Cedars of Lebanon State Park, the public parcel map for this area is the Tennessee Property Viewer, and no login is needed to use it. If you only know roughly where the land is, pan along Interstate 840 and click the parcel itself. For a parcel near Gladeville, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; each clerk in the county asks for it first.
Mineral and timber rights
In some areas, mineral or timber rights near Green Hill can be sold separately, which a title search can uncover.
Checking access first
Acreage on the record is assessed, not surveyed, so a survey for the tract near Cedars of Lebanon State Park is worth it.

Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near Rural Hill come from the Register of Deeds, usually searchable by name or document number. Questions about what you can build around Mt. Juliet go to planning, building or health offices, town or county, depending on location.
Flood, wetlands and soils
For a homesite outside Mt. Juliet without sewer, a perc or soil test matters.

Limits of the parcel data
Out toward Statesville, listed acreage is an estimate; only a licensed surveyor establishes the real boundary on the ground. Out toward Gladeville, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
A site visit checklist

Taking the map into the field
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Statesville, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Lebanon keeps working without signal.
