1955 Map of Cataula

About this map

Oak Mountain anchors the northeastern corner of this Harris County survey, while the Central of Georgia and Southern railroads dictate the development of the lowland corridors. The landscape is dotted with small-scale agricultural and community hubs such as Cataula, Ellerslie, and Waverly Hall. A high density of private and named lakes, including Lake Kutchaupee, Ganns Lake, and McGrills Lake, suggests a region defined by managed water and residential homesteading. Local social infrastructure is well-recorded through several country houses of worship, such as Flowers Ch and St Lukes Ch, and the Good Samaritan Home for Aged. The topographic detail reveals the intricate drainage patterns of Mulberry Creek and Ossahatchie Creek as they wind through the varied elevation of the Georgia Piedmont.
