1982 Map of East Ridge

About this map

West Chickamauga Creek winds through the heart of this landscape, a corridor defined by Civil War history and post-war suburban development. The western reaches are dominated by the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, while the northern portion shows the expansion of East Ridge and Chattanooga across the Tennessee-Georgia state line. The terrain transitions from the developed flats of Lakeview to the prominent heights of Peavine Ridge and Boynton Ridge. Interchanges along the interstate system signal the era's infrastructure growth, yet the map preserves numerous rural touchstones. Local heritage is deeply rooted in sites like Shiloh Ch, Lomenick Cem, and the settlement at Burning Bush. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts through the northeastern corner near Graysville, linking the river-valley economy to the broader region.
