1953 Map of Kinzel Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Little River carves a central path through this portion of Blount County, where the transition from valley settlements to the steep slopes of Chilhowee Mountain and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is sharply defined. The mapping reveals a rural landscape anchored by small communities like Walland, Kinzel Springs, and Townsend, often centered around natural features and early industry. Evidence of local life is found in numerous institutions, such as the Rocky Branch School and Millers Cove Church, while industrial traces like the Mill Dam on Mill Creek point to historical water-powered operations. The presence of Butt Cave and Hatcher Cave highlights the karst topography typical of this region's limestone coves, while family history is preserved at the Walker Cemetery and Rocky Branch Cemetery.
