2020 Map of Cataula

About this map

Mulberry Creek and its southern tributaries define the topography of this Harris County region, where the historical footprint of rural Georgia is remarkably preserved. The presence of both the Kingsboro Covered Bridge near Kingsboro and the Lowes Covered Bridge north of Ossahatchie highlights a landscape once heavily dependent on local timber and stone for infrastructure. Small settlements like Cataula and Ellerslie anchor the southern half of the map, while Turntime Crossroads marks a key junction in the central hills. Genealogists will find value in the scattered burial grounds including Bruce Cem, Clowers Cem, and Ellerslie Cem. The area is also notable for its numerous small impoundments and named water bodies such as Saunders Lake, Lake Lucy, and Ginns Lake, which reflect the localized drainage patterns of the Ossahatchie Cr and Standing Boy Cr basins.
