1958 Map of Chattanooga

About this map

The Tennessee River dominates this mid-century survey, looping through the Moccasin Bend and defining the growth of Chattanooga. The city’s urban density is anchored by the University of Chattanooga and Highland Park, while industrial infrastructure like the Citico Yards (Southern) and the Walnut St Bridge illustrate the importance of rail and river crossings. Beyond the city center, the terrain rises sharply toward Lookout Mountain and Signal Mountain, areas preserved in part by the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park.
