About this map

Chickamauga Lake dominates the center of this Tennessee landscape, reflecting the modern geography of the Tennessee River valley in Hamilton County. The map details a transition from the water's edge to the high ground of Dividing Ridge and Murphy Hill. Numerous inlets and branches, such as Possum Creek and Eldridge Branch, create a complex shoreline that supports recreational and nautical facilities like Midway Marina and the Shady Grove Boat Harbor.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of family-named burial grounds across the terrain, including Ball Hill Cemetery, Pendergrass Cemetery, and Thatcher Cemetery. These sites, along with the Chickamauga Reservoir Airport, suggest the long-standing community ties that persist even as the region evolved from rural hills to a modern lakeside residential and leisure hub. Roads like Old Dayton Pike and Lee Pike provide the primary corridors through this undulating landscape.
