1956 Map of Duluth

About this map

The Chattahoochee River serves as the southern border of this landscape, separating Fulton and Gwinnett counties while supporting a network of early crossings including Abbotts Bridge and Rogers Bridge Road. The interior of the quadrangle is characterized by a high density of rural community centers, many defined by their local congregations and schoolhouses. Places like Ocee and Warsaw appear as established rural nodes, with the commercial center of Duluth anchored by the Southern Railway at the map's southeastern corner. This survey also records numerous rural cemeteries and small churches, such as Macedonia Ch and Union Hill Ch, which reflect the localized settlement patterns before modern suburban development. The presence of the County Waterworks near the river indicates the early infrastructure supporting the growth of these Georgia communities in the mid-20th century.
