1979 Map of Shooks Gap

About this map

Fort Loudoun Lake and the French Broad River dominate this landscape southeast of Knoxville, where the river confluence at Forks of the River creates a complex system of islands and shoals. The 1970s terrain reveals a mix of suburban expansion and industrial legacies, particularly around Marbledale and Asbury, where Meades Quarry and Neubert Quarry point to the area's geological history of stone extraction. The residential character of Seymour and Seymour Heights contrasts with the managed landscape of the Eastern State Wildlife Management Area and the Holston Hills Golf and Country Club.
