1972 Map of Capitol Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Woods Reservoir dominates this landscape on the Elk River, serving as a focal point for both military operations and local recreation. The reservoir is bound by the Elk River Dam, with the Arnold Air Force Base reservation extending across the northern portion of the map. This area, known as The Barrens, shows a complex integration of government facilities, including the University of Tennessee Space Institute, alongside established rural communities. South of the base, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of family-named cemeteries and small settlements like Estill Springs and Capitol Hill. The influence of the Louisville and Nashville railroad line and an old RR grade trace the historic transportation routes that preceded the massive water management projects of the Tennessee Valley Authority. Small water bodies like Lye Pond and Duncan Lake sit nestled among the ridges near Little Mountain, providing a glimpse into the natural drainage patterns of the region.
