About this map

Chickamauga Lake and the Tennessee River dominate the western landscape of this mid-1960s survey, illustrating the significant hydrological transformation of Hamilton County. The map reveals a complex network of residential and recreational development along the shoreline, including Lakesite and the established Harrison Bay State Park. Moving inland toward White Oak Mountain, the terrain transitions from the water-oriented community of the Wolftever Fishing Club to a deeply-rooted rural landscape marked by dozens of family burying grounds such as Roddy-Yarnell Cem and Kimbro Cem.

The eastern portion of the sheet is defined by the steep ridges of Lauderback Ridge and Middle Ridge, which separate the river valley from the Bradley County line. Small community hubs like Snow Hill and Harrison are shown in detail, alongside landmarks like Jones Airfield and the Ooltewah Lookout Tower at Green Gap. This era of mapping documents the integration of local roads like Mahan Gap Road with older topographical features such as Danny Bluff and Posey Cave.
