1982 Map of Catlett

About this map

Taylor Ridge and Dick Ridge define the vertical grain of this landscape, carving out the narrow Armuchee Valley where rural life centered in the early 1980s. The map documents a landscape of small upland farms and clustered communities like Catlett and Naomi, connected by a network of hollows including Walden Hollow and Milan Hollow. Social life is anchored by numerous small country churches such as Prospect Ch and Lake Howard Ch, alongside several family cemeteries like Whitley Cem and Goodram Cem that reflect generations of settlement along the eastern flank of the Tennessee Valley Divide. The eastern half is dominated by the Chattahoochee National Forest, where the terrain rises sharply toward Hampton Mountain and the Lookout Scenic Highway follows the ridgeline.
