1953 Map of Concord

About this map

Fort Loudoun Dam stands as the defining engineering feature of this mid-century landscape, where the Tennessee River broadens into the expansive Fort Loudoun Lake. The shoreline is deeply articulated by numerous bends and bluffs, including Saltpeter Bluff and Parks Bend, creating a complex waterfront that serves as the boundary for Knox, Loudon, and Blount Counties. This era shows a transition from traditional rural patterns to modern recreation and infrastructure, as evidenced by the Cedar Hill Golf Course and the unique minnow rearing pools near the Southern railroad line.
