1965 Map of Charleston

About this map

Industrial development and traditional river life meet at the confluence of the Hiwassee River and Chickamauga Lake in the mid-1960s. The neighboring towns of Charleston and Calhoun are clearly defined along the Southern railroad line, separated by the river. To the north and west, the landscape is dominated by the ridges and hollows of the Chickamauga Reservation, where the shoreline is dotted with recreational sites like Camp Cherokee and the B and B Marina.
