1942 Map of Fort Oglethorpe

About this map

Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park dominates the eastern half of this 1942 survey, meticulously detailing the Civil War landscape just before the mid-century. The map preserves the positions of historic homesteads such as the Brotherton House, Snodgrass House, and Dyer House, alongside named combat locations like Poe Field and Viniard Field. This era of the park is captured prior to modern suburban encroachment, showing the original road network including Lafayette Road.
