About this map

Melton Hill Lake defines the northern reaches of this landscape, its waters winding past Burchfield Heights and the rocky features of Cobbs Shoals and Holts Island Shoals. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent ridges, including Copper Ridge, Chestnut Ridge, and Blackoak Ridge, which dictate the local settlement patterns and road networks. Suburban development extends through Farragut and into the western reaches of Knoxville, with established residential areas like Village Green and Boxwood Hills appearing alongside modern educational institutions such as Pellissippi State Technical Community Coll.

Genealogists can find numerous historical burial sites scattered across the ridges, including the Lebanon Cem and Pleasant Forest Cem. Older settlement names like Robinson Crossroads, Solway, and Ball Camp persist, showing the transition from rural crossroads to an integrated part of the larger metropolitan corridor. The map captures the complex drainage of the area through numerous creeks, such as Beaver Creek and Turkey Cr, which carved the valleys now used for transportation and habitation.
