2019 Map of Fairmount

About this map

Signal Mountain and the surrounding plateau communities are defined by the sharp transition from the residential neighborhoods of Chattanooga to the high ridges of the Cumberland Escarpment. This modern era study illustrates the dense suburban expansion in areas like Red Bank and North Glen Estates while the higher elevations remain dominated by protected terrain and heritage sites. The Cumberland Trail winds across the landscape, passing significant natural landmarks such as the N Chickamauga Creek Gorge and the Chickamauga Gulch. Local history is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Fairmount Cem, Levi Cem, and the high-elevation Hall Cem near Lone Oak. The map details how modern development in Soddy-Daisy and Falling Water follows the old transport corridors of the Old Dayton Pike and the Dayton Blvd, contrasting the concentrated residential clusters of Shepherd Forest and Timesville with the rugged breaks of Adams Ridge and Gadd Ridge.
