About this map

Chattanooga sits at a dramatic bend in the Tennessee River, where the city's urban grid meets the steep rises of Lookout Mountain and the Cumberland Escarpment. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling reaches of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, which preserves the complex tactical geography of the region's Civil War history, from Point Park overlooking Moccasin Bend to the numerous markers throughout the city.

Evidence of the area's development is seen in the mix of residential heights like Signal Hills and industrial districts such as Tannery Flats. Institutional landmarks including the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and the Chattanooga National Cemetery anchor the downtown core. The river remains the central feature, shaped by landmarks like Williams Island and the shoals that once challenged early navigation, such as Ross Shoals and Tumbling Shoals.
