1946 Map of Ringgold

About this map

Ringgold serves as the focal point for this mid-century survey, situated along the South Chickamauga Creek and the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis railroad line. The landscape is dominated by the linear ridges of White Oak Mountain and Cherokee Ridge, which funnel transportation and settlement patterns into the intervening Cherokee Valley. A significant portion of the central terrain is occupied by a U S Military Reservation containing the Catoosa Target Range, reflecting the area's strategic importance during the post-war era.
