About this map

The Chickamauga Lake Tennessee River dominates this mid-1960s landscape, where rising reservoir waters have shaped a complex shoreline of inlets like Harrison Bay and Savannah Bay. Inland from the recreation areas of Harrison Bay State Park, the map reveals a dense network of family heritage markers, particularly evident in the concentration of small burial grounds such as Roddy-Yarnell Cem, Pritchett Cem, and McDonald Cem.

Settlement patterns in eastern Hamilton County transition from the community at Snow Hill to the ridge-and-valley terrain of White Oak Mountain. The presence of the Chickamauga Reservation and landmarks like the Wolftever Fishing Club reflect the area's dual character as both a rural residential district and a major water-based leisure destination. Local infrastructure is anchored by sites like the Snow Hill Sch and Jones Airfield, while the many churches—including Shady Grove Ch and Oak Grove Ch—provide a look at the social heart of these communities before modern suburbanization.
