1982 Map of East Ridge

About this map

Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park dominates the western landscape of this Tennessee-Georgia border region, preserving the site of pivotal Civil War movements. This 1982 survey illustrates the suburban expansion around East Ridge and Lakeview, contrasted with the rural, ridge-and-valley terrain to the south and east. The Seaboard System Railroad cuts through the northeast near Graysville, where Swanson Mill stands along the banks of Chickamauga Creek. The map provides a detailed view of local infrastructure, from the Golf Course and Amusement Park near the state line to numerous country churches like Shiloh Ch and Post Oak Ch. Geologists and historians can trace the course of West Chickamauga Creek as it snakes through Sycamore Bend, passing beneath historic crossings such as Reed Bridge and Dyer Bridge.
