1976 Map of Daisy

About this map

The expansive waters of Chickamauga Lake and the Tennessee River dominate this 1970s landscape, reflecting the impact of TVA development on Hamilton County. The transition from industrial corridors to residential expansion is evident as the Southern Railway and U S Highway 27 cut through the western valleys, connecting Soddy-Daisy and Hixson toward the growing northern edge of Chattanooga. While suburban developments like Middle Valley and Valleybrook are well-established, older rural markers remain, including numerous family burial grounds such as Wright Cem and Barker Cem. To the east, the shoreline of Harrison Bay and the wooded terrain of Big Ridge contrast with the commercial activity at Northgate Mall. Landmarks like Mystic Caverns and the Sequoyah Vocational Technical School provide a look at the local tourism and educational infrastructure of the mid-1970s.
