About this map

Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park dominates the eastern half of this survey, preserving the grounds of critical Civil War engagements near the border of Tennessee and Georgia. The terrain transitions from the heights of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge down into the fertile reaches of Chattanooga Valley and Happy Valley. This landscape is marked by historical landmarks of both military and domestic importance, including Snodgrass Hill, Wilder Tower, and Brotherton Field within the park boundaries.

Outside the park, the map details the suburban and rural development of the early 21st century, showing established neighborhoods like Saint Elmo, Blowing Spring, and Cenchat. Numerous family sites and local institutions appear, such as the Ellis Family Cem, Humphrey Cem, and the route of Wallaceville School Rd. The presence of Rock City and Lula Lake on the western ridge reflects the area's long-standing draw for tourism and natural interest, while West Chickamauga Creek and Chattanooga Creek define the drainage of the lowlands.
