2016 Map of East Ridge

About this map

Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park dominates the western edge of this landscape, preserving the hallowed grounds of a critical Civil War conflict along the banks of West Chickamauga Creek. This modern survey reveals a dense network of suburban growth and historical landmarks straddling the Tennessee-Georgia border, where the residential communities of East Ridge and Lansdell Park meet the rising terrain of Boynton Ridge and The Backbone. Local history is anchored by numerous family and community burial sites, including Old Post Oak Cem and Gilliland Cem, while the industrial past is marked by Swanson Mill on South Chickamauga Creek. The infrastructure of the region is defined by the heavy corridor of I-75, which cuts through the heart of the terrain near Happy Top and Blevins Acre, providing a sharp contrast to the protected acreage of the Chattahoochee National Forest in the southeast.
