1982 Map of Hooker

About this map

Lookout Mountain and Raccoon Mountain dominate this landscape, defining the steep-sided Lookout Valley where local life centered in the early 1980s. The region is marked by a legacy of transportation and small communities, with the Southern RR and Nashville and Chattanooga RR following the natural contours of the valley floors. The map reveals a cluster of rural institutions that served the scattered populations of Morganville, New England, and Wildwood, including numerous local meeting houses like Bethlehem Ch and Slygo Ch. Family heritage is deeply embedded in the terrain, preserved through sites like Kennedy Cem, Haswell Cem, and Brock Cem. Along the eastern edge, the boundary of Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park highlights the area's significance, while industry is represented by several active quarries and gravel pits tucked into the ridges.
