About this map

Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park dominates the landscape of this Georgia-Tennessee border region, marking the site of one of the Civil War's most significant western theater conflicts. The map details the complex terrain surrounding Chattanooga, from the heights of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge to the narrow corridors of Chattanooga Valley. This 2024 data showcases how modern suburban developments like Fairlawn Acres and Warren Terrace have integrated with the preserved battlefield grounds.

Local historians can trace family plots at Dyer Cem, Patrick Cem, and the Ellis Family Cem, which remain as markers of the area's early settlement. The geography is defined by the steep descent from Eagle Cliff into the Tannery Gulf, while the community of Rossville sits strategically at the historic Rossville Gap. From the educational campus of Covenant College to the banks of West Chickamauga Creek, the map illustrates a landscape where military history and modern residential growth are inextricably linked.
