1953 Map of Shooks Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The French Broad River and Holston River converge on this 1950s sheet to form the headwaters of the Tennessee River, framing the eastern expansion of Knoxville. The landscape is a mix of river-bottom agriculture and industrial extraction, most notably at Meades Quarry and Neubert Quarry. Before the full dominance of modern bridges, the Riverdale Ferry still served as a vital crossing point near the settlement of Riverdale.
