About this map

Lookout Mountain dominates the eastern landscape of this region, where the state lines of Georgia and Tennessee converge near Chattanooga. The map documents a complex network of gaps and hollows that historically dictated movement through the valley, including Windy Gap, Tarklin Gap, and Stidmon Gap. These natural corridors support established communities such as Wildwood, Morganville, and New England, while many smaller family name-plates like Deakins Cem, Haswell Cem, and Price Cem reflect the area's deep-rooted genealogical history.

Industrial and public infrastructure is evident through the Lookout Mountain Airport and the sprawling Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park on the eastern slopes. Waterways like Lookout Creek and its many tributaries, including McCollum Branch and Running Water Creek, carve through the ridges of Aetna Mountain and Raccoon Mountain, defining the settlement patterns that remain visible today.
