Alcoa Marsh is a “Registered” State Natural Area,  I have spoken with the
property manager personally and was once responsible for the file at TDEC
Natural Areas.  You can get the information you need from Roger McCoy.

I also have a note in my map file from its location outside Maryville:

Mark, I am not personally familiar with any area being referred to as "Alcoa
Marsh".  There is a reference to it in Tennessee Watchable Wildlife as a place
in which King Rail were found.  This leads me to believe that it might be the
"Little River Marsh", a place mentioned in a report by Morton Massey.

The only other place that I can think of that might be a possibility would be a
place that Tom Howe frequently visits designated as "Springfield Branch".  It
is an extensive, marshy area.  It is listed as having no public access.

I don't know if this helps or not.  It would appear to be a name that may have
been used more widely in the past than now.  Perhaps either Morton or Tom could
help.

Subject: [TN-Bird] Location question - Alcoa Marsh?

I’m currently entering some historical data in eBird and was wondering if
someone could point out on a map the historical location of Alcoa Marsh in
Blount County.

Thanks!
