About this map

Knoxville serves as the focal point of this topographic study, where the Tennessee River snakes through a landscape defined by significant institutional and residential development. The map details the dense urban core, including the Knox County Courthouse City County Building and the extensive campus of The University of Tennessee Knoxville. To the north and west, neighborhoods like Lonsdale and West Haven give way to industrial corridors along the Southern RR and Coster Yards.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds, ranging from the Old Gray Cem and Knoxville National Cem near the city center to the Tennessee State Veterans Cem and Harris Chapel Cem in more outlying areas. Water features like Fort Loudoun Lake and Fourth Creek illustrate the city's relationship with its river valley, while landmarks like the Knoxville Downtown Island Airport on Dickinson Island mark the intersection of aviation and topography.
