About this map

Fort Loudoun Lake and the winding Tennessee River dominate this 1968 landscape, dividing the communities of Knox and Blount counties. The town of Louisville serves as a central hub, featuring the Louisville School, Louisville Church, and nearby Louisville Cemetery. The map captures the area during a period of transition, where established rural life—marked by the Mahoney Mill on Marmor Creek and the Middle Settlement Community Center—meets growing infrastructure.

Transportation patterns are defined by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and the expanding reach of Alcoa Highway near the military boundary of the Mc Ghee-Tyson Air Force Base. Along the shoreline, leisure and healthcare facilities like the Ft Loudoun Yacht Club Dock and Little Creek Sanitarium appear alongside family-named terrain such as Keller Bluff and Jackson Bend. Small settlements like Pumpkin Center and Miser Station remain visible, providing valuable context for local genealogy.
