1969 Map of Chattanooga

About this map

Nickajack Lake and the winding Tennessee River dominate this 1969 topographic portrait of a city defined by its dramatic relief. The urban core of Chattanooga is pinned between the Cumberland Escarpment to the west and Missionary Ridge to the east, showing a complex network of industrial rail yards like Cravens Yards and landmark bridges including the P R Olgiati Bridge and Walnut St Bridge. Significant institutions and parklands occupy the river's major bends, from the Moccasin Bend Psychiatric Hospital and Moccasin Bend Golf Course to the Audubon Society Wildlife Refuge Maclellan Island.
