1910 Map of Atlanta

About this map

Atlanta serves as a central hub on this Northeast Texas landscape, where the Texas and Pacific and Kansas City Southern railroads define the movement of people and goods near the tri-state border. The map documents a highly active timber and agricultural economy just after the turn of the century, evidenced by a dense network of local industry such as Chambee's Gin, Cass Lumber Co Sawmill, and Geogan's Mill. The rural landscape is partitioned into small communities centered on landmarks like Laws Chapel and Pritchards Cem.
