A TVA survey monument on the walkway to Tellico Dam. This is one of five I found on this walkway while mapping a route for a half marathon the city of Lenoir City is hosting. These are all metal rod markers and are not listed on the NGS website. This is a fairly busy walking trail with several options to park. I put the closest parking in the quick description.
