Bearden Tennessee Knoxville Alcoa USGS Topo Map 1968 Vintage

$58

This 1966 edition, printed in 1968, is a USGS 7.5-minute topographic map produced with the Tennessee Valley Authority as geographer, and the sheet is in very good condition: lightly handled, never folded, with a flawless map area and library stamps in the bottom right collar. Covering the Knoxville vicinity in East Tennessee, the quad takes in parts of Knox, Anderson, and Blount counties and includes the western side of Knoxville along with Fort Loudoun Lake, the town of Alcoa, and the community of Karns. Drawn from 1953 and 1966 aerial and field survey, it records the suburban west end of Knoxville at mid-century, and the thick stock and never-folded condition make it well suited to framing.
