1979 Map of Shooks Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

French Broad River and Holston River converge here to form the Tennessee River, creating a complex landscape of waterways and islands such as Boyd Island and Pickel Island. In the late 1970s, this area east of Knoxville maintains a distinct character where industrial sites like Meades Quarry and the Southern Railway corridor meet residential expansion in Marbledale and Asbury. The terrain is defined by the prominent ridges of Brown Mountain and Bays Mountain, which hem in the settlements of Shooks and Seymour. Genealogists will find a wealth of local history preserved in numerous burial grounds, including the Huckleberry Springs Ch + Cem and Armstrong Cem, alongside early community centers like the New Hopewell School + Church. The presence of the Downtown Island Airport and the Holston Hills Golf and Country Club illustrates the mid-century suburban and recreational development pushing outward from the city center.
