1946 Map of Durham

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Lookout Mountain dominates this mid-century survey of the Georgia highlands, where the Dade Co Walker Co boundary splits a landscape of high plateaus and deep gorges. The settlement of Durham sits atop the mountain, once connected to the valley by a now Dismantled Railroad, reflecting the shift from industrial rail transport to motor travel along the Lookout Scenic Highway. To the west, the dramatic drop of Sitton Gulch and Little Mans Gulch defines the area within Cloudland Canyon State Park, while the eastern slopes descend toward the communities of Cooper Heights and Cassandra.
