2019 Map of Graysville

About this map

Dayton and its neighboring hill communities are situated between the dramatic Cumberland Escarpment and the broad waters of Chickamauga Lake. The geography of the late 2010s reveals a landscape defined by the transition from Walden Ridge down into the Tennessee River valley. Long-standing settlements like Graysville and Sale Creek are connected by the historical corridor of Dayton Pike, which runs parallel to the winding course of Sale Creek. The map is particularly dense with small family and community burial sites, including Miller-Nelson Cem and the Old Browder Cem, providing a detailed record of local genealogy. Notable landmarks like the Daugherty Ferry Bridge and the numerous hollows such as Shipley Hollow and Doss Hollow illustrate how the terrain has shaped human movement and habitation in this part of Rhea County.
