1907 Map of Atlanta

About this map

Atlanta serves as a major railroad hub on the Texas and Pacific line, anchoring a landscape defined by the timber and cotton industries at the start of the twentieth century. The map reveals an intricate network of industrial sites, from the Cass Lumber Co Sawmill in the north to numerous family-operated operations like Pritchard's Gin, Richards Sawmill, and Huffine's Sawmill. These facilities are connected by a web of railways, including the Kansas City Southern and several specialized timber lines like the Black Bayou Lumber Co RR.
