1935 Map of Daisy

About this map

The Tennessee River divides this 1935 landscape, flowing past Harrison Bluff and Dallas Island before the construction of major dams permanently altered the local hydrology. Near Daisy, an industrial pocket is defined by Brick Kilns and a Clay Pit connected by a Conveyor, highlighting the area's early extractive economy. Along the Southern Railway and North Chickamauga Creek, the terrain transitions from the heights of Walden Ridge and the Cumberland Escarpment down to the fertile river bottoms. Local life is documented through a dense network of country landmarks, including Hixson Mill, the Harrison Ferry, and numerous family-named burial grounds like Poe Cem and Smith Cem. Educational and social hubs are well-marked, from Camp Tsatanugi to schools like Ganns Sch and Miller Grove Sch, providing a clear record of rural Hamilton County communities during the mid-1930s.
