1947 Map of Estelle

About this map

La Fayette serves as the primary municipal center in this late 1940s survey of Walker County, showcasing a landscape defined by sharp topographical transitions between Pigeon Mountain and the agricultural valleys to the east. The town's industrial and social infrastructure is well-documented, featuring a Pumping Station, Sewage Disposal Plant, and a local Golf Course. Moving south from the city, the map traces the William Howard Taft Highway through rural terrain marked by localized landmarks like the County Farm and Blaylock Mill along the Chattooga River. Numerous family-named sites, including the Shaw Cem and Caldwell Cem, reflect the area's deep-rooted settlement history. Connectivity is provided by the Central of Georgia railroad and the Tennessee Alabama and Georgia line, which navigate the gaps and ridges such as Dug Gap and Bluebird Gap.
