1943 Map of Dalton

About this map

The industrial and agricultural center of Dalton sits at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, anchored by a dense network of textile mills and the crossing of the Southern and Louisville and Nashville railroads. This mid-century survey reveals a landscape defined by its waterways and small, tight-knit communities like Spring Place and Chatsworth. Local commerce and milling history are represented by sites such as Praters Mill and Gregorys Mill, while the Conasauga River snakes along the eastern half, providing a natural boundary between Murray and Whitfield counties.
