2020 Map of Hooker

About this map

Lookout Mountain dominates this landscape where the Tennessee and Georgia borders meet, forming a high plateau that historically dictated movement through the region. The map captures the complex terrain of the southern Appalachian ridges, defined by the winding course of Lookout Creek and the deep incisions of Slygo Valley and Richmond Gulf. Evidence of the area's deep-rooted history is visible in the numerous family burial grounds and small community landmarks, such as Paynes Chapel Cem, Deakins Cem, and Bethlehem Cem. Significant portions of the northeast are preserved within the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, highlighting the strategic importance of this corridor. From the industrial valley settlements of New England and Morganville to the recreational and aviation hub at Lookout Mountain Airport, the map illustrates a modern geography built atop an intricate network of gaps and hollows.
