About this map

Crossville stands as the hub of the high Cumberland Plateau in the early 1980s, where the city's growth is clearly mapped alongside the enduring rural character of its surrounding crossroads. The landscape is defined by the Tennessee Divide and a complex network of man-made lakes, including the large Meadow Park Lake and the recreational developments at Lake Tansi Village. The transition from the town's industrial and civic core—marked by the National Guard Armory and Cumberland Medical Center—to the outlying residential enclaves like Volunteer Heights and Camelot reflects the era's suburban expansion.

Local history is preserved in the numerous family cemeteries and small churches scattered across the plateau, such as Baisley Cem and Mountain View Ch. To the south, the sprawling grounds of Cumberland Mountain State Park center on Byrd Lake, illustrating the long-standing importance of this region for recreation and conservation. The map also captures critical infrastructure of the period, from the Crossville Memorial Airport to the Southern CP rail line.
