1966 Map of Blockhouse

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Chilhowee Mountain and the Sulphur Knobs dominate this mid-century landscape where the residential expansion of Maryville meets the northern boundary of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The map reveals a transition from the urban grid and the L & N RR line in the northwest to the rugged interior of Blount County. Recreational and social development is evident through the mid-1960s, featuring the Maryville Dragway, the Lambert Acres Golf Course, and the hilltop enclave of Top of the World Estates overlooking Lake in the Sky. Local history and genealogy are anchored by numerous rural sites like the Carpenter Campground Cem and Peck Memorial Church. On the southern edge, the Foothills Parkway begins to snake through gaps such as Butterfly Gap and Wolfpen Gap, marking the era's infrastructure growth near Camp Montvale.
