1886 Map of Ringgold
USGS Topo · Published 1886About this map
Lafayette and Ringgold anchor this late-nineteenth-century study of the ridge-and-valley landscape spanning Northwest Georgia and the Tennessee border. The map details an era when heavy industry and transit were closely tied to the terrain, anchored by the Alabama Great Southern Railroad to the west and the Western and Atlantic Railroad to the east. The landscape is dotted with early rural nodes like Trion Factory and various milling operations, including Gilreath's Mill and Johns Mills, which reflect the localized economy of the post-Civil War South.
