1943 Map of Daisy

About this map

Chickamauga Reservoir dominates the eastern landscape of this 1943 survey, where the recently flooded valley of the Tennessee River reshaped the shoreline near Daisy and Hixson. The map documents a transition from traditional river-bottom agriculture to a recreation-centered economy, evidenced by the Harrison State Park reservation and the Chattanooga Rod and Gun Club. Industrial traces like the kilns in Daisy and the Upper Mill and Lower Mill on Falling Water Cr sit alongside established community anchors such as Jackson Chapel and Middle Valley Sch. The Southern Railway runs parallel to the Dayton Highway, providing the backbone for settlements like Melville and Montlake at the foot of Walden Ridge. Family history researchers can locate numerous burial grounds, including the Maddox Cem and Davidson Cem, as well as the Harrison Bluff Cabin Site Area.
