About this map

Fountain City and the northern reaches of North Knoxville anchor this landscape, where the ridges and gaps of East Tennessee dictate the pattern of human settlement. The urban expansion of Inskip and Smithwood meets the older corridors of Maynardville Pike and Broadway, while the terrain is defined by the prominent Sharp Ridge and Blackoak Ridge. A dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, including Lynnhurst Cem, Greenwood Cem, and Jett Cem, provides a significant record for genealogical research in these long-established communities.

Suburban development fans out through the valleys between Copper Ridge and Beaver Ridge, connecting small centers like Halls Crossroads and Arlington. Water features such as Beaver Cr and Willow Fork wind through the topography, while the Sharps Ridge Memorial Park preserves high ground above the city. The map illustrates a mature intersection of residential growth and the traditional geography of Beaver Valley.
