1968 Map of Louisville

About this map

The Tennessee River winds through this landscape, defining the jagged peninsula of Keller Bend and the broader waters of Fort Loudoun Lake. In the late 1960s, the community of Louisville sat as a quiet lakeside settlement, anchored by St Marks Ch and the Louisville Cem. To the south and east, the industrial presence of Alcoa and the growing footprint of the McGhee Tyson Airport reflect the regional shift toward modern aviation and manufacturing, even as local nodes like Miser Station and Middle Settlement maintain their traditional character.
