1982 Map of Fort Oglethorpe

About this map

Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park dominates the southeastern quadrant of this study, preserving the complex topography of the 1863 battlefields. The map documents the relationship between the rising elevations of Missionary Ridge and the broad flats of Dry Valley, punctuated by historic sites like Snodgrass Hill and monuments such as the Wilder Obsv Tower. Northward, the industrial and residential growth of Rossville and Fort Oglethorpe reflects the post-war expansion of the Chattanooga metropolitan area across the Tennessee-Georgia state line.
