About this map

White Oak Mountain dominates the landscape of this East Tennessee quadrangle, separating Rabbit Valley and Ooltewah Valley. The settlement of Ooltewah serves as a central hub, situated near the intersection of the Southern RR and local thoroughfares. To the south, Collegedale is clearly defined by the campus of Southern Missionary College and the Arthur W Spalding Sch, illustrating the area's development as an educational center in the mid-1960s.

The northwestern portion of the map is occupied by the sprawling Volunteer Army Ammunition Plant, a massive military reservation characterized by its specialized road network and restricted boundaries. Rural life is evidenced by numerous family cemeteries such as Sylar Cem and Plowman Cem, alongside small communities like Apison and Honestville. Natural features like Huckleberry Pond and Ryall Springs dot the terrain, while landmarks like Dead Man Gap provide traditional local orientation within the complex ridges of Hamilton and Bradley counties.
