About this map

Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park anchors the southwestern quadrant of this landscape, preserving the terrain of the 1863 battlefield just south of the Tennessee-Georgia state line. The suburban expansion of East Ridge is visible in the north, centered around the Dixie Highway and infrastructure like the McBrien Sch and Town Hall. To the east and south, the terrain becomes more varied as it follows the ridges, with the Louisville and Nashville tracks cutting through Graysville and Ringgold.

Local landmarks such as Lake Winnepesaukah and its adjacent Amusement park highlight the mid-century recreation character of the area. The map identifies numerous rural institutions like New Liberty Ch, Shiloh Ch, and the Pine Grove Cem, alongside geographic curiosities like Happy Top and Bermuda Hill. The winding paths of South Chickamauga Creek and West Chickamauga Creek trace the lowlands between Boynton Ridge and Peavine Ridge.
