About this map

Soddy-Daisy and the eastern suburbs of the Chattanooga area are defined by the extensive waters of Chickamauga Lake, where numerous points and islands like Dallas Island and John A Patten Island shape the residential and recreational landscape. The topography transitions from the low-lying lakefront up toward Grasshopper Hill and Flipper Bend in the west. This 2011 survey captures the area's modern residential density, particularly around Dallas Hollow and Lakesite, while preserving the locations of dozens of historical family burial grounds including the Poe, Shadwick, and Rawlston cemeteries.

Industrial and community markers are prominent, ranging from the Daisy Post Office to the Dallas Bay Sky Park. The drainage network, featuring North Chickamauga Creek and its many tributaries like Lick Branch, continues to dictate the local geography. Distinctive natural landmarks such as Mystic Caverns and the Montlake Lookout Tower overlook the developing valleys, providing clear points of reference for local historians and geographers studying the intersection of suburban growth and the Tennessee River waterway.
