1952 Map of Graveston

About this map

Maynardville and the surrounding Tennessee ridge-and-valley landscape are documented here just as the post-war era began to reshape rural Union and Knox Counties. The terrain is defined by the prominent Copper Ridge and Raccoon Knobs, which dictate the placement of settlements and transport corridors. The southern portion of the map is anchored by the Southern Railway line through Corryton, a community featuring the Corryton School and an athletic field. This era shows a high density of rural institutions, from the Graveston Mill Pond to numerous family-named landmarks like Ousley Cemetery and Ailor Gap. A unique industrial feature appears near Birch Hollow, where minnow rearing pools are situated along the creek, suggesting specialized local land use alongside the traditional dairy and agricultural patterns of the Flat Creek area.
