About this map

The Tennessee River corridor in Hamilton Co is dominated by the sprawling waters of Chickamauga Lake, creating a complex landscape of sloughs and inlets. Residential pockets such as Shore Acres and Opossum Creek Pines sit along the waterfront, while the larger community of Soddy-Daisy occupies the southwestern corner. The terrain rises sharply from the riverbanks toward Dividing Ridge and various named heights like Murphy Hill and Joe Smith Hill.

For genealogists, the map is a dense record of family-named landmarks and resting places. Numerous small burial grounds are scattered throughout the hills, including Ball Hill Cem, Dolly Pond Cem, and Pendergrass Cem. The road network, featuring routes like Birchwood Pike and Grasshopper Rd, connects these rural sites across a geography defined by historical drainage patterns like Gregory Slough and Grasshopper Cr.
