1979 USGS Topo Map: Bearden, Cedar Bluff, Tennessee

$55

This 7.5-minute topographic quad covers Bearden, on the western side of Knoxville, Tennessee, in a 1978 edition printed in 1979. The sheet takes in part of the city of Knoxville along with Cedar Bluff, Amherst, and Westmoreland Heights, reaching across parts of Knox, Anderson, and Blount counties and touching Fort Loudoun Lake on the Tennessee River. Surveyed between 1966 and 1978 with the Tennessee Valley Authority as geographer, it records the suburban growth spreading west of downtown during those years. The map area is flawless.
