1966 Map of Fountain City

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Blackoak Ridge and Beaver Ridge define the northeast-to-southwest grain of the Knoxville suburbs in the mid-1960s, a period of rapid residential expansion. This Tennessee Valley Authority survey captures Fountain City and Halls Crossroads as established centers amidst growing developments like Harrill Hills and Shannondale. The landscape is a mix of traditional rural crossroads and modern infrastructure, including the newly mapped Freeway (Interstate 75) cutting through Dutch Valley. Local institutional history is anchored by the Beverly Hills Sanatorium and Central High School, while recreation areas such as Whittle Springs Golf Club and the Beaver Brook Country Club reflect the changing land use of the era. Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks, from the Mynatt Cem to Wallace Cem, scattered among the ridges and valleys.
