1960 Map of Keenburg

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Boone Lake and the winding Holston River dominate the northern landscape of this Sullivan and Carter County region at the start of the 1960s. The area displays a mix of agricultural valley settlements like Keenburg and Silver Grove alongside the heavily wooded ridges of the Cherokee National Forest. Local social and infrastructure centers are well-documented, from the Tri-City Speedway near Walnut Grove to educational landmarks like Unaka High Sch. Genealogists will find a high density of family burial grounds, including McKinney Cem, Crockett Cem, and Ellis Cem. The presence of Underwood Spring indicates the critical role of local hydrology for nearby municipal needs. Significant terrain features like Grandfather Knob and Morrell Cave define the eastern interior, while the South Fork National Pike provides a glimpse into the era's primary transportation corridor through the valley.
