1968 Map of Knoxville

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Island Creek and its many tributaries, including Shelley Run and Dungeon Hollow Run, carve through the landscape of Jefferson County during this late 1960s revision. The area shows a heavy industrial imprint from numerous Strip Mine operations scattered throughout Knox and Island Creek townships. In the south, the growing suburban footprint of Wintersville and Overlook Hills contrasts with the rural character of northern settlements like Knoxville and Taylortown. The transportation network is anchored by the Ohio River and the Penn Central railroad corridors on the eastern edge near Toronto. Local genealogy is well-supported by several listed burial sites, including Shelley Cem, the hilltop Mt Tabor Cem, and the expansive Fort Steuben Burial Estates. Educational and community life is centered at the Jefferson Union High Sch and several country churches like Center Chapel and Brays Chapel.
