1893 Map of Chattanooga

USGS Topo · Published 1901

About this map

Chattanooga serves as the industrial and transportation hub of this late 19th-century survey, situated at a major bend in the Tennessee River where multiple rail lines converge. The Cincinnati Southern Railroad and the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis Railroad dictate the valley's development, connecting settlements like Dunlap and Daisy to the river economy. To the west, the landscape is defined by the steep rises of the Sequatchie River valley and the Bledsoe Ridge, while the south reveals industrial sites like the McNabb Mines and Aetna Mines. Before the construction of modern bridges, river crossings relied on a network of ferries such as Blythe Ferry and Doughty Ferry. The map also captures several rural post offices and landings like Eldridge Landing and Norman Store, illustrating a world where the river remained the primary thoroughfare for commerce.
