Here's a good link for some Tn maps... The county maps are very handy, though sometimes out of date.

The Forestry Dept. supposedly has new maps now or at least that is what the Forestry Police officer told me and my brother a few days ago as he wrote us a citation for being somewhere he said we couldnt be on street legal bikes. Oh did I happen to mention that three different TWRA officers had told us we could be there and had seen and talked to us in the same spot while we were in our big four wheel drives!!!! ( ie trucks and an Early Bronco ) I am trying to talk to his boss and see if he will listen to reason and drop the charges I mean we do have three out of four officers on our side.

The Knox County map is many years out of date, and only has detail in the 'county'. City of Knoxville is barebones...

I feel tha Delorme Topo USA is a very good tool for general purpose maps. I also like the Delorme product containing individual state topo maps on CD. Quite handy.

Thanks. I really want to know if Walker Springs still has an active spring, and whether the water will melt your face off or not.

For that you may want to call the City of Knoxville Engineering department (Stormwater Division) if in the city, Knox County Engineering & Public Works (Stormwater) if county. They may or may not know, but have people who could find out.

If you have concerns of face-melting call neither.

There is a USGS publication on Tennessee springs which is interesting. Most springs are considered "unsafe" for public consumption due to the very high drinking water standards applied to public drinking water supplies.

Why not just walk over and take a look if it is still there? I don't see any reason why it should not still be an active spring unless someone dug out the hillside for some factory or something.
