1955 Map of Cataula

About this map

Cataula and Ellerslie anchor this mid-century portrait of Harris County, where the agricultural landscape is defined by the winding course of Mulberry Creek and its many tributaries. The area's transport and utility infrastructure is prominent, featuring the Central of Georgia and Southern railroads alongside a network of telephone lines and a major pipeline. Local life centers on rural nodes like Turntime Crossroads and Kingsboro, with numerous community landmarks such as Clowers Ch and the Good Samaritan Home for Aged illustrating the social fabric of the era. The terrain is marked by a high density of private impoundments and named water bodies, including the uniquely named Lake Kick-Ann-Rick, Lake Kotcharapée, and Ginns Old Lake, reflecting the region's complex drainage and land use patterns during the 1950s.
