About this map

Ringgold serves as the focal point for this 1946 field examination, where the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis RR and the Dixie Highway converge. The landscape is defined by the prominent White Oak Mountain and Cherokee Valley, which together channel transportation and settlement patterns in this corner of Catoosa County. A significant portion of the central terrain is occupied by the U S Military Reservation, featuring the Catoosa Target Range.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from rural educational sites like Union Academy and Pleasant Valley Sch to numerous houses of worship including Stone Ch, Ebenezer Ch, and Smith Chapel. The map documents numerous water sources such as Catoosa Springs and several numbered springs like Rock Spring 13, which historically anchored the surrounding small communities of Shookville, Keith, and Sugartown.
