About this map

Fort Loudoun Dam and its complex riverine landscape define this area of East Tennessee, where the Tennessee River transitions into the expansive Fort Loudoun Lake. The map reveals a region undergoing suburban transition in the late 1960s, with emerging residential clusters like Martel Estates and Scenic Point Estates appearing alongside older established communities. The transport infrastructure is a focal point, featuring the convergence of the Southern Railway and major thoroughfares like Kingston Pike and Lee Highway.

Significant genealogical and historical landmarks are scattered throughout the quadrangle, from the Friendsville Ch to the Old Cem and Jackson Cem. The terrain is marked by prominent ridges such as Blackoak Ridge and Dunn Ridge, which dictate the flow of several tributaries, including Hickory Creek and Turkey Creek. The map also captures specialized infrastructure, including a drive-in theater and a coaxial telephone cable, reflecting mid-century development patterns.
