2020 Map of Ringgold

About this map

Ringgold serves as the focal point of this North Georgia survey, centered on the Catoosa County Courthouse and the historic corridors of the South Chickamauga Creek. The landscape is defined by the prominent ridges of White Oak Mountain and Taylor Ridge, which shelf the valleys where settlements like Shookville, Sugartown, and Salem Valley are established. Much of the central terrain is occupied by the VTS Catoosa training site, while the southwestern corner preserves the hallowed ground of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites across the ridges, including the Old Ringgold Cem, Stone Cem, and Smiths Chapel Cem. The map illustrates the contemporary intersection of historical land use and modern conservation, with the Chattahoochee National Forest providing a natural buffer against the growing valley communities.
