1969 Map of Chattanooga

About this map

The Tennessee River creates a dramatic series of loops and bends at the base of the Cumberland Escarpment, defining the industrial and civic heart of this mid-century Southern city. By the late 1960s, the urban landscape of Chattanooga is anchored by the National Cemetery and the sprawling University of Tennessee at Chattanooga campus, while industrial rail hubs like Cravens Yards support the region's commerce. The map documents the city's expansion through purple-tinted urban extensions into neighborhoods like North Chattanooga, St Elmo, and Alton Park.
