2019 Map of East Ridge

About this map

Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park anchors the western edge of this 2019 survey, where the historic landscape of the American Civil War meets the suburban expansion of Chattanooga and East Ridge. The map traces the winding course of West Chickamauga Creek as it flows north toward the Tennessee-Georgia state line, passing through a terrain defined by significant creek crossings like Alexander Bridge and Reed Bridge. To the east, the ridge and valley topography is evident in features such as Boynton Ridge and the prominent formation known as The Backbone. This era shows a densely settled corridor with established neighborhoods like Lansdell Park, Harris Hills, and Indian Springs. Local history is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Old Post Oak Cem and Graysville Cem, while recreation centers around Lake Winnepeasauka and the northern reaches of the Chattahoochee National Forest.
