About this map

Beaver Ridge and Blackoak Ridge anchor this Knoxville-area landscape, where suburban expansion meets legacy family landmarks. The mapping illustrates a complex network of residential developments and institutions like the Zion Childrens Home alongside historic burial grounds, including the Eubanks Chapel Cemetery and Cox View Cemetery. Toward the south, the terrain descends toward the banks of Watts Bar Lake and Wright Bluff, highlighting the regional reliance on the Tennessee River system for both geography and recreation.

Local industry and infrastructure are represented by the Cedar Bluff Quarry and small aviation facilities like Tan Rara Airport. The presence of numerous natural springs, such as Walker Springs and Oehler Springs, suggests the underlying limestone geology that has shaped the drainage and development patterns of Brentwood and Cedar Bluff. This survey captures the transition of old farmland into a modern residential corridor near Kirby Lake.
