My Google Map of Tri-State Area (Link)

Link to Google Map of some places in the tri-state area of Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia. This includes Lookout Mountain, Rock City, Rock Creek Road, McLemore Cove, and various places in Chickmauga. Some of my markers are for areas where there might be a historic marker for the Second Michigan and First Tennessee Vols route over Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain (Army of the Cumberland, USA, 1863).

Historic 1892 Map of the Rock Mountain and Sand Mountain area. Here's the link to the Google image search where I found the map, but it leads to a Topo site, and that site seems to have no such map, or no easy way to find it. The Google link is to an actual image file on the Rock Mountain Alabama blog, so that's the attribution I've given.

Here's a link to a great topographic map of the Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain areas. At this site, you can also "build" your own map and they will print it.
