2022 Map of Wauhatchie

About this map

The Tennessee River winds through a dramatic landscape of steep ridges and deep gulfs west of Chattanooga, where the modern engineering of the Raccoon Mountain Pumped Storage Dam and Reservoir dominates the eastern heights. This area of Marion County is defined by the sharp relief of Walden Ridge and Elder Mountain, which hem in the river as it flows through Suck Shoals and past Savannah Towhead. The topography reveals a history of isolated family settlements and mountain life, evidenced by the numerous small cemeteries found across the terrain, including Francis Cemetery, Pot Cemetery, and Aetna Cemetery.
