1943 Map of Charleston
USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
The Hiwassee River serves as the focal point for this mid-century landscape, dividing the settlements of Charleston in Bradley County and Calhoun in McMinn County. The 1942 field examination captures the area shortly after the filling of the Chickamauga Reservoir, showing how the backwaters of the Tennessee Valley Authority project transformed former creek beds like Rogers Creek and Candies Creek into significant embayments. This transition from riverine to reservoir landscape is evident along Ledford Island and the inundated mouths of numerous branches.
