About this map

Missionary Ridge and Lookout Mountain dominate the local topography of this borderland, where the suburbs of Chattanooga reach south into Georgia. At the heart of this landscape lies Fort Oglethorpe, positioned near the historic Chickamauga battlefield grounds. The map reveals a dense network of memorial and military features, including Wilder Tower, Snodgrass Hill, and numerous named fields such as Brotherton Field and Kelly Field.

Industry and local commerce are represented by landmarks like the Lee and Gordon Mill on West Chickamauga Creek and the famous Rock City Gardens perched on the mountain's edge. Family and community history is preserved through dozens of small burial grounds, from the Ellis Family Cemetery to the Chattanooga Valley Cemetery. Transportation corridors like the Battlefield Pkwy and Frank M Gleason Pkwy connect these residential and historical zones, while rugged features like Dynamite Hollow and Tannery Gulf hint at the area's earlier rural character.
