1955 Map of Chattahoochee

About this map

The State Hospital complex dominates the landscape of Chattahoochee in the mid-1950s, serving as a significant institutional anchor at the confluence of the Apalachicola River and the newly formed Jim Woodruff Reservoir. This era captures a critical transition in the region's infrastructure, where the Watson Line marks the political boundary between Florida and Georgia, and the dual presence of the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line railroads underscores the area's importance as a transportation hub.
