==Geography== [[Image:Lenoir-city-us-321-tn1.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|U.S. Highway 321 (Lamar Alexander Parkway) in Lenoir City]] The Tennessee River and TVA's Fort Loudoun and [[Watts Bar Lake|Watts Bar]] reservations provide the city's southern boundary. Four major federal highways pass through Lenoir City: [[U.S. Route 11 in Tennessee|U.S. Route 11]], which runs roughly parallel to the river shore, traverses the city east-to-west; [[U.S. Route 321 (Tennessee)|U.S. Route 321]], which crosses Fort Loudon Dam south of the city, traverses the city north-to-south. [[Interstate 75 (Tennessee)|Interstate 75]] and [[U.S. Route 70 (Tennessee)|U.S. Route 70]] intersect US-321 in the northern part of the city. I-75 provides access to the city from exit 81, and leads northeast {{convert|26|mi|km}} to downtown [[Knoxville, Tennessee|Knoxville]] (via a connection with [[Interstate 40 in Tennessee|I-40]]), and southwest {{convert|91|mi|km}} to [[Chattanooga, Tennessee|Chattanooga]]. U.S. 321 runs through the center of town from southeast to northwest, leading northwest {{convert|7|mi|km|spell=in}} to I-40 at exit 364 (the highway's northern terminus), and east {{convert|20|mi|km|spell=in}} to [[Maryville, Tennessee|Maryville]]. U.S. 70 runs to the north of the city, leading northeast {{convert|9|mi|km|spell=in}} to [[Farragut, Tennessee|Farragut]] and northwest {{convert|19|mi|km}} to [[Kingston, Tennessee|Kingston]]. U.S. 11 runs through the center of the city, leading northeast to Farragut and Knoxville, and southwest {{convert|7|mi|km|spell=in}} to the city of [[Loudon, Tennessee|Loudon]]. Lenoir City is traditionally spread out along US-11, west of the road's junction with US-321. This section of the city still roughly follows a grid plan laid out in the 1890s. In recent decades, Lenoir City has annexed a {{convert|5|mi|km|adj=on}} corridor of land along US-321 between its US-11 intersection and I-40 intersection. This corridor contains the city's newer, commercial area which caters to the high volume of traffic brought to the area by I-75 and I-40.
