2010 Map of Big Spring

About this map

Chickamauga Lake dominates this landscape, where the wide waters of the Tennessee River basin surround notable landforms like Hiwassee Island and Moon Island. The terrain is characterized by a high density of family and community burial grounds, including Shaver Cemetery, Blankenship Cemetery, and Mount Carmel Cemetery, which provide invaluable reference points for genealogists. In the northwest corner, William Jennings Bryan University overlooks the river valley, while Mark Anton Airport serves as a regional aviation hub. Navigation and transport patterns are evident through features like Bells Landing and Chub Arnold Landing, alongside crossings such as Rattan Bridge and The Culbert Bridge. Numerous named shoals and springs, such as Leas Shoals and Powell Spring, indicate the complex hydrology that continues to shape Rhea County.
