1940 Map of Chattanooga

About this map

Chattanooga serves as the focal point of this 1940 Tennessee Valley Authority and USGS collaboration, capturing the city just as its industrial and transport infrastructure reached a pre-war peak. The heavy rail network of the Southern and NC & St L converges at massive hubs like Union Station and Terminal Station, while the Tennessee River loops around the iconic Moccasin Bend. This survey documents a landscape of deep historical memory, including the National Cem and Confederate Cem, alongside the residential growth of neighborhoods like North Chattanooga and Highland Park.
