1935 Map of Graveston

About this map

Maynardville and Corryton anchor this 1935 survey of the ridge-and-valley landscape straddling the Union and Knox County line. The map illustrates a deeply rooted rural infrastructure of small schools and country churches that define early twentieth-century life in East Tennessee, including Millers Chapel, Little Flat Creek Ch, and Alder Springs Sch. The Southern railroad provides the primary industrial artery through the valleys, passing through the growing community of Corryton while several local roads like Highway No 33 begin to modernize the transit network.
