1954 Map of Desser

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Lela, Brinson, and Desser anchor this survey of the Georgia borderlands, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of swampy depressions and limestone sinks. This 1954 environment is punctuated by features like Goose Lake, Rock Pond, and Wash Pond, alongside smaller wetlands such as Sykes Water Gap and Buttonwood Pond. The social geography of the era is remarkably well-preserved through family-named sites and community centers, including the Rock Pond Courthouse and Rock Pond Sch. These landmarks, along with Jeffrey Chapel and multiple family burial grounds like Ash Cem and Chason Cem, reflect a deeply rooted rural society. The northeastern corner shows the Atlantic Coast Line railroad and the waters of Spring Creek, while the southern reaches reveal the expanding margins of Lake Decatur along the Seminole and Decatur county line.
