1982 Map of Fort Oglethorpe

About this map

Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park dominates the landscape south of the state line, preserving the grounds of the Civil War battlefield. The map details commemorative geography including Snodgrass Hill, Dyer Field, and Brotherton Field, alongside historical structures like the Snodgrass House and Kelly House. This late 20th-century update captures the suburban expansion of Chattanooga and Fort Oglethorpe as residential developments like Beverly Hills and Orchard Hills fill the gaps between the older rail corridors of the Tennessee Alabama and Georgia RR and the Central of Georgia RR. To the west, the steep rise of Lookout Mountain and the prominent spine of Missionary Ridge define the local topography, while the Lee and Gordon Mill sits as a landmark at the southern edge near the winding Chickamauga Creek.
