Progress
- Before we started, if you looked at Chattanooga in Google Earth, it looked like a flattened casserole with a mountain coming out of it ("Flattanooga"). Our hope was to bring it into 3D for those of us who live in the 3rd dimension to enjoy.

Downtown Chattanooga 3D Tour
Chattanooga 3D was launched in 2009 by Stephen and Karen Culp to bring Chattanooga to life on Google Earth. Since then, River City Company has added more than one hundred 3D models of downtown locations to use in marketing and business recruitment efforts. By creating online video tours of properties in the downtown area, River City Company helps realtors and developers showcase specific real estate opportunities. Zoom in to Chattanooga on Google maps and turn on the Earth layer to view Chattanooga in 3D. For more information, including how to put your property on the 3D map, contact Jim Williamson at 423-265-3700 or jwilliamson@rivercitycompany.com.
