1935 Map of East Chattanooga

USGS Topo · Published 1935

About this map

The Tennessee River serves as the focal point for this 1935 survey, most notably documenting the Chickamauga Dam (under construction) during a period of massive infrastructure transformation. The landscape transitions from the urban density of Chattanooga and East Chattanooga into a rural network of family-named settlements and institutions. The area is dense with genealogical markers, including the Silverdale Confederate Cem and numerous school sites like the Bonny Oaks Sch and Booker T Washington Sch. Transportation is dominated by the Southern Railway and the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis Railway, which cut through the terrain near Missionary Ridge. Emerging modern infrastructure is also visible, from the Chattanooga Municipal Airport to the Wilcox Tunnel, illustrating a region poised between its agrarian past and an industrial, hydroelectric future.
