1946 Map of Catlett

About this map

Taylor Ridge bisects this section of Walker County, Georgia, serving as a prominent north-south divide between Tennessee Valley and the Armuchee Valley. The landscape is a network of ridges and hollows, such as Mineral Spring Hollow and Milan Hollow, where early mid-century rural life was anchored by small crossroads like Catlett and Naomi. Much of the eastern terrain falls within the Chattahoochee National Forest, which includes the locally significant Shaw Gap and Maddox Gap. For family historians, the sheet is exceptionally well-indexed with localized landmarks, including Mt Zion Ch, Hickory Hill Sch, and several family cemeteries such as Goodram Cem and Bryan Cem. The road system, notably the Lookout Mountain Scenic Highway and Alabama Road, reflects the traditional transit routes through these gaps before modern interstate expansion.
