About this map

Chickamauga Lake and the winding course of the Tennessee River dominate this modern topographical record of Hamilton County. The landscape is a complex network of bays and inlets, including Savannah Bay and Harrison Bay, which define the shoreline near Lakesite and Snow Hill. This map is particularly dense with genealogical sites, documenting dozens of family burial grounds such as Roddy-Yarnell Cem, Masterson Cem, and Montgomery Cem that dot the ridges and hollows.

Transportation patterns reflect the area's geography, with the Savannah Bridge and Wolftever Bridge spanning the water to connect rural roads like Birchwood Pike. Terrain features like White Oak Mountain and Dividing Ridge rise above the water, while protected areas like Harrison Bay State Park preserve the natural character of the shoreline. The map also records numerous springs and sloughs, such as Rector Spring and Blue Springs Slough, indicating a landscape deeply tied to its water table and river history.
