1972 Map of Grasshopper Creek

About this map

The Tennessee River dominates this landscape, where the waters of Chickamauga Lake branch into numerous named sloughs and creeks. This 1970s revision by the Tennessee Valley Authority highlights the recreation and infrastructure surrounding the reservoir, from the Midway Marina and Shady Grove Boat Harbor to the Chickamauga Fly and Bait Casting Club. Historically, the area retains its rural roots with numerous small family-named cemeteries such as Roark Cem and Thatcher Cem, alongside community landmarks like the Bakewell Sch and Mt Annie Church. The rugged eastern topography is defined by the Ridge, where the Meigs and Hamilton county line follows the terrain. Transportation patterns show a mix of old river-access points like Ferry Road and the Southern RR corridor near the western edge at Soddy-Daisy.
