2010 Map of Fountain City

About this map

The settlement of Halls and the developed neighborhoods of north Knoxville anchor this landscape at the end of the first decade of the 21st century. The area is defined by a series of northeast-trending ridges and valleys, including Sharp Ridge and Grassy Valley, which have historically dictated the flow of transport and urban expansion. A dense concentration of burial sites, such as the Greenfield Memorial Cemetery and the Anderson-Gouffon Cemetery, provides a rich record of long-standing local families. The hydrology of the region is equally complex, featuring numerous named springs like Blue Spring and Hunter Spring that feed into Beaver Creek and Whites Creek. These water sources and topographical breaks, such as Dry Gap and Crippen Gap, continue to shape the residential and commercial corridors connecting the northern suburbs to the heart of the city.
