1950 Map of Cataula

About this map

The Harris County countryside northeast of Columbus comes to life in this mid-century survey, defined by the winding course of Mulberry Creek and its many tributaries like Ossahatchie Creek and Donnell Creek. The era's transportation network is anchored by the Central of Georgia and Southern railroads, which served the established communities of Cataula, Waverly Hall, and Ellerslie. Smaller rural hubs like Turntime Crossroads and Kingsboro appear alongside a network of country schools and churches, including Grantsville Sch, Clowers Sch, and Ebenezer Ch. These features illustrate a landscape still largely agricultural and communal before later 20th-century suburban expansion. Local families and historians can trace the positions of several small lakes such as Ginns Lake and Lake Olive, as well as numerous Cem locations that provide valuable genealogical landmarks within the rolling Georgia terrain.
