About this map

Maryville and its industrial neighbor Alcoa dominate this 1940 landscape, captured just as the Tennessee River was being transformed by the Fort Loudoun Res. The map documents a period of significant regional transition, showing the newly established Knoxville Municipal (McGhee-Tyson) Airport and the sprawling residential developments of Bungalow Town, Plainfield, and Oakhurst.

Along the Little River, rural traditions persist near modern infrastructure, with Rockford Station serving the local rail lines while the peaks of Bays Mountains rise to the east. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, from Maryville College to numerous country schools like Lincoln School and Everett School. The map also preserves the locations of early industry and community hubs, including Cave Mill, the Fair Grounds, and historic meeting places like Wilder Chapel and Mt Moriah Ch.
