Chattanooga Maps and Orientation

(Chattanooga, Tennessee - TN, USA)

Chattanooga lies on the southeasterly side of Tennessee, close to the state border with Georgia. This city is the state's fourth-biggest city and the largest in Hamilton County, where it is also the county seat.

Based around the lakes of Chickamauga and Nickajack, both of which are fed by the Tennessee River, the city of Chattanooga offers a wealth of recreational activities, including plenty of water sports and rock-climbing opportunities.

Chattanooga was known for its extensive industrial pollution back in the sixties, although that image is long gone. The city is now clean and green, with many lengthy waterfront trails and even a network of free electric shuttle buses.
