You can get high quality DEM/DRG/orthophoto data for Tennessee at
http://www.tngis.org/data.html
They have 1 meter resolution orthoquads, scanned quads(DRGs), and 10 meter resolution DEMs.
I found Alabama topo DRGs at
http://www.gsa.state.al.us/gsa/gis_data.html
You can get all the Georgia data you need for free at
http://gis.state.ga.us/
You have to register, but all the data I looked for was free.
You can find anything you need at the GIS Data Depot-
http://data.geocomm.com/catalog/
But you'll have to pay for some items.
If funding is maintained, the AmericaView program-
http://www.americaview.org/
Will eventually give us all free access to updated remote sensing data. If your state has a functioning AmericaView website, you should download all the data you might need, as there is no guarantee that the websites will be up forever. I have the whole state of Wisconsin at 1 meter resolution, fer example.
