1943 Map of Daisy

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

The Southern Railway corridor anchors this 1942 Tennessee Valley Authority survey of Hamilton County, documenting a landscape at the height of New Deal-era transformation. The newly formed Chickamauga Reservoir has fundamentally reshaped the eastern landscape, submerging the former banks of the Tennessee River and creating Harrison Bay. While the reservoir introduced recreational areas like the Chattanooga Rod and Gun Club and Fairview Cabin Site Area, the interior remains a network of traditional rural settlements. Communities such as Daisy and Hixson are defined by family-named landmarks and local institutions, including Burks Chapel, Middle Valley Sch, and numerous family burial grounds like Barker Cem. The industrial footprint of the era is preserved in the kilns near Melville and the Aerial Tramway ascending Walden Ridge toward Montlake.
