2022 Map of East Ridge

About this map

The Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park and its surrounding terrain anchor this 2022 survey of the Tennessee-Georgia borderlands. The landscape transitions from the residential developments of East Ridge and Fort Oglethorpe into the wooded ridges and creek valleys of Catoosa County. This contemporary record preserves the locations of numerous historic burial grounds, including Newman Springs Cem, Boynton Cem, and Burning Bush Cem, which sit alongside newer neighborhoods like Cinderella Hills and Morris Estates. The complex hydrography of West Chickamauga Creek and its many tributaries, such as Hurricane Br and Peavine Cr, illustrates the geographical features that have long dictated the region's transport routes and settlement patterns. Further south, the map reaches into the Chattahoochee National Forest, documenting the intersection of modern infrastructure like Battlefield Pkwy with natural landmarks such as The Backbone.
