1974 Map of Knoxville

About this map

Knoxville and Roberta anchor the northwestern corner of this mid-1970s landscape, where the local economy and geography are shaped by a mix of agriculture, industry, and natural watercourses. The Southern railroad line passes through the southwest, serving the industrial operations at Sandpits near the small community of Gaillard. This area is heavily defined by its drainage patterns, with Beaver Creek and Mossy Creek winding through the central and southern sections, while Hortons Millpond provides a distinct local landmark. Genealogy researchers will find several rural centers of worship and remembrance, such as Old Bethel Cem, Gordon Chapel, and Little Union Ch. The transition from the established street grids of Roberta to the scattered outposts of Allon and Gaillard reflects the rural character of Crawford County during this era.
