About this map

Murphree Valley and the surrounding ridges of the Appalachian foothills define this 1960 landscape, showing the area as it transitioned through mid-century development. The Louisville and Nashville railroad serves as the primary corridor through the valley, connecting settlements like Remlap and Inland Junction. The terrain is characterized by steep ridges such as Sand Mountain and Blount Mountain, which hem in the drainage of the Little Warrior River.

Industrial and recreational footprints are evident, from a Strip Mine to the expansive Inland Lake Reservoir, which is carved by deep inlets like Sawmill Slough. Local social life is anchored by institutions like Valley Grove Ch and Blount Highlands Sch. The map also captures several private retreats, including Camp Tekawitha and Camp Utopia, alongside newer residential developments such as Springville Lake Estates.
