1965 Map of Charleston

About this map

The Hiwassee River serves as a central artery for this mid-1960s landscape, marking the confluence of industrial infrastructure and rural Tennessee life. On its banks, the town of Charleston sits adjacent to heavy industrial features like settling basins and a purification pond, illustrating the area's mid-century economic character. To the north and west, the waters of Chickamauga Lake reach into the valleys between No Pone Ridge and Humphreys Ridge, creating a complex shoreline that defines the Candies Creek Wildlife Management Area.
