1952 Map of Luttrell

About this map

Clinch Mountain and Copper Ridge dominate this corner of Tennessee, carving out the narrow Poor Valley and the broader agricultural corridor of Richland Valley. In the mid-century landscape of 1952, the Southern railroad serves the settlement of Luttrell, while the Rutledge Pike connects the communities of Blaine and Lea Springs. The map reveals a deeply established rural social fabric, marked by numerous family-named burial grounds like Perrin Hollow Cem and Zachary Cem, alongside small centers of local life such as Rush Strong School and Wyrick Chapel. To the southeast, the Holston River remains a primary geographic boundary, with Nance Ferry still providing a critical crossing point near Snaggy Island before more modern infrastructure fully transformed regional travel. The inclusion of a Radio Facility (WIBK) near Zacharytown highlights the emerging communication infrastructure of the post-war era.
