1935 Map of Fountain City

USGS Topo · Published 1935

About this map

Fountain City serves as the focal point of this 1935 Tennessee Valley Authority and USGS advance sheet, showing the suburban expansion north of Knoxville before the era of modern interstate development. The landscape is defined by the parallel ridges of Copper Ridge, Black Oak Ridge, and Sharp Ridge, which channeled settlement into the narrow valleys between them. This era reveals a dense network of local institutions, from the Beverly Hills Sanitarium to numerous rural schools like Fort Sumter Sch and Halls Sch. The Southern Railway corridor anchors the southern portion of the map, passing through Beverly and Burlington. Extensive genealogical data is preserved through dozens of family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including the Gouffon Cem, Mynatt Cem, and Salem Cem, alongside historic congregations like Beaverdam Ch and Sharon Ch.
