1964 Map of Ooltewah

About this map

The Volunteer Army Ammunition Plant dominates the northwestern landscape of this Tennessee quadrangle, its extensive network of roads and military reservation boundaries carving through the Summit Knobs and Dividing Ridge. This industrial presence contrasts sharply with the established educational and religious character of Collegedale and Ooltewah to the east. The campus of Southern Missionary College serves as a central landmark in Rabbit Valley, while smaller communities like Apison and Ryall Springs define the rural residential pattern at the edge of the expanding Chattanooga suburbs.
