1907 Map of Atlanta

About this map

The Texas and Pacific and Kansas City Southern railroads define the industrial character of this tri-state border region during the early twentieth century. Centered on Atlanta and Queen City, the map documents a landscape where timber and agriculture were the primary economic drivers. Numerous family-run operations, such as Arnolds Sawmill, Richards Sawmill, and Chambee's Gin, are scattered along the drainages of Black Creek and Hurricane Bayou.
