1954 Map of Desser

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Lake Seminole dominates the southeastern corner of this landscape, its waters reaching toward the boundary between Seminole Co and Decatur Co. The terrain is defined by a complex network of sinkhole ponds and lakes, including Goose Lake, Shores Lake, and Cypress Lake. This 1954 survey, updated with 1988 photography, shows a rural community anchored by small crossroads and family landmarks. Local history is recorded in the names of Williams Cem, Trawick Cem, and Chason Cem, while the educational and civic life of the area is centered at the Rock Pond Sch and the nearby Rock Pond Courthouse. The settlement of Desser sits in the southwest, marked by a Lookout Tower, reflecting a period when fire observation and small-scale agriculture shaped the local economy. Springs like Spooner Springs and the flow of Spring Creek highlight the importance of the regional aquifer to this corner of Georgia.
