USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
Chickamauga Lake and the Hiwassee River define the local geography where the borders of Meigs, McMinn, and Bradley counties meet. This 1940s landscape is characterized by prominent northeast-trending ridges, including the Meigs McMinn Ridge and Candies Creek Ridge, which separate fertile valleys like Walker Valley and Dry Valley. The settlement of Charleston and the adjacent town of Calhoun serve as focal points along the Southern railroad line, representing the established river-and-rail corridor of the era.
