1945 Map of Hooker

About this map

Lookout Mountain and Sand Mountain dominate the terrain in this 1945 field examination, with the state line cutting through the northern valleys of Dade County and Hamilton County. The transportation network of the era is defined by the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis Railway and the Southern Railway, which parallel the winding path of Lookout Creek. Small rural communities like Hooker, Morganville, and Wildwood serve as anchors for local life, while the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park preserves the higher elevations. The map provides a detailed view of social infrastructure, locating numerous country churches such as Bethlehem Ch and Sarah Chapel, alongside educational sites like the North Dade Sch. The distribution of family burial grounds, including Magill Cem and Summit Cem, offers essential data for local genealogical research.
