1969 Map of Chattanooga

About this map

Lookout Mountain and the Cumberland Escarpment loom over the riverfront in this detailed study of the Tennessee Valley. The industrial and transport heart of the city is captured in high detail, showing the massive rail infrastructure of the Harry Debutts Yards (Southern) and the Central of Georgia. The geography of the city is defined by the sharp curves of the Tennessee River at Moccasin Bend, where the Moccasin Bend Psychiatric Hospital and the Moccasin Bend Golf Course sit across from the downtown core. Settlement patterns extend from the dense urban blocks of North Chattanooga to the suburban developments of Stuart Heights and Red Bank. Cultural and civic landmarks include the National Cemetery and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, while older community markers like Tudor Cem and Beck Cem provide valuable touchpoints for local family history.
