About this map

Missionary Ridge and the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park anchor the western portion of this 2016 survey, representing the preservation of significant Civil War landscapes within the modern footprint of Chattanooga. The map documents a dense network of suburban and historic settlements like Tyner, Silverdale, and Brainerd, woven together by major transit corridors such as the Chattanooga Belt RR and the Wilkes T Thrasher Bridge crossing the Tennessee River.

Genealogical interest is particularly high due to the abundance of small burial grounds, including the Silverdale Cem, Confederate Cem, and the Brainerd Mission Cem. The transition from the industrial legacy of the railroads to the aviation-centric landscape at Lovell Field illustrates the evolution of this Tennessee hub. Numerous creeks like South Chickamauga Creek and North Chickamauga Creek feed into Dallas Lake, defining the local topography.
