About this map

Beaver Ridge and the winding course of Beaver Creek define the northern topography of this Knox County landscape, while the southern edge is shaped by the Tennessee River at Fort Loudoun Lake. The suburban development of West Knoxville is evident through dozens of established neighborhoods like Cedar Bluff, Sevenoaks, and Sevenoaks, reflecting the area's transition into a residential hub. Notable landmarks for local history and genealogy include the Berry Highland West Memorial Park Cem and several smaller family or community burial grounds such as Mars Hill Cem and Happy Home Cem.

The map reveals the intricate network of water resources that supported early settlement, from Duncan Spring and Walker Springs to named lakes like Jimmy Baisley Lake and Bud Hodge Lake. Natural corridors through the ridges, including Dye Stone Gap and Chenoweth Gap, dictate the modern road patterns of Ball Camp Pike NW and Middlebrook Pike, showing how historical terrain continues to influence contemporary transport and community boundaries.
