About this map

Fountain City and the northern outskirts of Knoxville are captured here in a period of significant post-war expansion. The landscape is defined by the parallel ridges of Black Oak Ridge and Sharp Ridge, which channel the development of neighborhoods like Inskip, Smithwood, and Highland Park. The map reveals a community well-served by institutions, including the Beverly Hills Sanatorium East Tennessee Tuberculosis Hospital and numerous spiritual centers such as Mayes Chapel and Black Oak Heights Church.
