1952 Map of Meadow

About this map

Hickory Valley and the winding course of the Little Tennessee River anchor this mid-century portrait of Loudon and Blount counties. The landscape is dotted with small rural communities and local landmarks like Unitia, Glendale, and Greenback, the latter of which serves as a notable hub along the Seaboard rail line. This 1952 survey, which includes purple updates from the early 1980s, documents a significant transitional period for the region as the waters of Tellico Lake and Ft Loudoun Lake began to alter the riverine geography.
