1958 Map of East Chattanooga

About this map

Chickamauga Dam anchors this mid-century landscape where the Tennessee River widens into the expansive Chickamauga Lake. The area reflects a period of intense post-war development and infrastructure, visible in the sprawling Volunteer Ordnance Works and the growing aviation hub at Chattanooga Municipal Airport (Lovell Field). Along the geological spine of Missionary Ridge, residential growth pushes into established neighborhoods like Brainerd and Eastdale, while the Southern Railway and Louisville and Nashville Railroad continue to define the industrial corridors. Family history is well-documented through numerous small burial sites such as Smith Cem, Hancock Cem, and the Silverdale Cem. The transition from rural to suburban is captured in the scattered schools like Bess T Shepherd Sch and the lakeside recreation found at Booker T Washington State Park.
