About this map

Chickamauga Lake dominates the eastern half of this Rhea County landscape, shaping the residential and recreational development of Lakewood and the nearby Harbor Lights Boat Dock. To the west, the terrain rises into ridges and hollows, such as Blackoak Ridge and Wildcat Hollow, where small settlements and rural homesteads are scattered. The town of Graysville sits at the foot of these uplands, serving as a historic nexus between the rugged interior and the Tennessee River valley.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Old Browder Cemetery, Mount Vernon Cemetery, and the Rogers Cemetery. Education and civic life are anchored by William Jennings Bryan University and the Dayton Post Office in the north. The presence of Hiwassee Shoals and numerous creek systems like Sale Creek and Richland Creek highlights the area's complex hydrology before and after the formation of the reservoir.
