About this map

The ridge and valley system of Bradley County dictates the layout of this 1943 survey, where Walker Ridge and Beeler Ridge channel the flow of Chatata Creek and South Mouse Creek. The industrial and residential core of Cleveland and East Cleveland anchors the southwestern quadrant, showing a dense street grid and the Southern Railway corridor. Away from the city center, the landscape is defined by small rural hubs such as Tasso and numerous family and community landmarks.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific sites, including schools like Big Spring Sch and Trevana Sch, and several houses of worship such as Julian Chapel and Michigan Avenue Ch. The presence of Haun Mill and numerous named springs like Richey Spring and McKenzie Spring highlights the early reliance on local water sources. The Tennessee Valley Divide cuts across the southern portion of the sheet, marking the topographic transition toward the Coahulla Creek drainage.
