About this map

Fort Loudoun Lake dominates this landscape, winding through the valley where the Tennessee River meets the Blount and Knox county line. The 1968 revision captures the area’s post-war character, featuring the sprawl of Mc Ghee Tyson Air Force Base alongside older rural foundations. On the southern banks, Louisville appears as a central hub, flanked by the Louisville and Nashville RR and landmarks like Logan Hill.

Evidence of an earlier agrarian economy remains visible through features like Mahoney Mill on Marmor Creek and several community anchors, including Miser Station and Middle Settlement. Genealogists will find a wealth of local burial sites, such as the Louisville Cem and Grace Cem. The transition from rural farmland to residential suburbs is noted by the appearance of Smoky View Estates and Lakewood, while Admiral Farragut Park preserves green space along the water.
