1940 Map of Bearden

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

Blackoak Ridge and Hinds Ridge dominate this topography of western Knox County, where the Tennessee Valley Authority and USGS documented the landscape just as the Fort Loudoun Reservoir was being planned. The Southern Railway corridor serves as a primary axis, connecting settlements like Bearden, Byington, and Amherst. This era captures a transition from rural agricultural land to early suburban expansion, evidenced by the clustered residential names like Westmoreland Heights and Meadowbrook.
