About this map

Cumberland Escarpment rises sharply to the west, overlooking a complex suburban and industrial landscape along the Tennessee River's northern reaches. The area is defined by the heavy rail infrastructure of the Cincinnati New Orleans and Texas Pacific RR and the residential expansion of Soddy-Daisy, Middle Valley, and Hixson. The eastern half of the map is dominated by the wide expanse of the river, where features like Dallas Lake and Harrison Bay have reshaped the original valley.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial sites, including the Ephraim Hixson Cem, Foster-Hixson Cem, and Shadwick Cem. These small family cemeteries stand in contrast to modern landmarks like the Hamilton County Memorial Park Cem. The map reveals how older community hubs like Melville and Greens Mill have been integrated into the growing Chattanooga metropolitan fringe while retaining their distinct geographic identities near North Chickamauga Creek.
