1955 Map of Cusseta

About this map

Fort Benning Military Reservation occupies a massive portion of this mid-century landscape, illustrating the significant military footprint in Chattahoochee County. The map details the intersection of military and civilian life, with a Hospital and numerous named hills like McKenna Hill and Reeve Hill situated within the reservation boundaries. To the east, the town of Cusseta serves as a local hub, anchored by the Seaboard Air Line and Central of Georgia railroads. This infrastructure supported the rural economy, which was punctuated by community landmarks such as Mt Olive Ch and St Pauls Ch. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Ochillee Creek and Hichitee Creek, which feed into various ponds and springs like Sulphur Spring. Small settlements like Jamestown and remote outposts such as Friendship Sch reflect the dispersed nature of the county's residential patterns during the post-war era.
