1888 Map of Chattanooga

USGS Topo · Published 1888

About this map

Chattanooga serves as the industrial and transportation anchor for this 1888 survey, which captures the complex geography of the Tennessee River valley before modern dam projects altered the shoreline. The map reveals a river-dependent economy where crossings like Blythe's Ferry, Harrison Ferry, and Kelly's Ferry provided essential links between upland settlements and the emerging rail hubs. Heavy industry is represented in the southwest by the Aetna Mines and Mt. Nab Mines, which tapped the resources of the surrounding ridges.
