About this map

The Tennessee River dominates this mid-1930s landscape, making a sharp horseshoe turn at Moccasin Bend just west of the city center. This era captures the transition of the river into the Hales Bar Reservoir, with numerous bars and islands like Williams Island and Chattanooga Island still prominently defined. The urban core of Chattanooga is densely plotted, showing the intricate grid of the 1930s streetscape anchored by Cameron Hill and the sprawling National Cem.
