1947 Map of Estelle

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

La Fayette serves as the focal point of this postwar Georgia landscape, where the Central of Georgia railroad intersects with major regional thoroughfares like the William Howard Taft Memorial Highway. The topography is defined by the dramatic ascent of Pigeon Mountain to the west and the parallel alignment of Straight Ridge and Peavine Ridge. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted rural society, with institutional landmarks such as the County Farm and the Log Cabin Tabernacle situated near the town center. Local industry and agriculture are visible through features like Blaylock Mill and the Pumping Station on Town Creek. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of scattered rural burial grounds and schools, including the Shaw Cem and Burnt Mill Sch, which anchored small communities like Valley Head and Estelle before the mid-century shift toward more centralized development.
