1950 Map of Coloma

About this map

Coloma serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Carroll County, where the terrain is defined by the prominent rises of Blue Mound Hills and the series of summits known as Tater Hill, Long Tater Hill, and Round Tater Hill. The 1950 topography reveals a dense network of country schools that supported the rural population, including Locust Sch, Cream Ridge Sch, and Oak Hill Sch. These small educational outposts, often located at crossroads or along drainage divides, speak to a time of localized community life before large-scale district consolidation.
