1893 Map of Chattanooga

About this map

Chattanooga and the surrounding river valleys are captured here during a pivotal era of industrial and transit expansion. The landscape is defined by the winding Tennessee River and the parallel Sequatchie River, which carved the valleys that dictated early settlement and rail routes. Numerous river crossings are documented, including Harrison Ferry, Brown Ferry, and Kelly Ferry, showing how travel functioned before modern bridges dominated the region.
