1952 Map of Binfield

About this map

Brick Mill stands as a focal point in this 1950s landscape, situated along Little Baker Creek where the rural character of Blount County is defined by an intricate network of ridges and small stream valleys. The area transitions from the western outskirts of Maryville into a patchwork of family-named terrain like Curtis Ridge and Hutton Ridge. This survey reveals a high density of rural spiritual life, with numerous landmarks such as Clover Hill Church, Oakland Church, and Gospel Temple Church serving the scattered farming communities. Significant genealogical detail is preserved through labels for the Seceder Cemetery, Hamil Cemetery, and Lambert Cemetery. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the prominent Woodpecker Knobs, while the lowland areas show the development of local infrastructure like the Fairview School and the recreational Carpenter Campground.
