1961 Map of Russellville

About this map

Cherokee Lake dominates this East Tennessee landscape, formed by the damming of the Holston River and creating a complex shoreline that winds between Prophet Ridge and Nenny Ridge. This 1961 revision shows the area's transition into a recreational and residential hub, evidenced by the Lakemont Cabin Area and Fall Creek Dock. To the south, the agricultural valleys remain anchored by established settlements like Whitesburg and Russellville, where the Southern Railroad follows the natural corridor of the Lee Highway.
