1955 Map of Fortson

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Chattahoochee River defines the western edge of this territory, where the borders of Harris and Muscogee counties meet. The landscape reflects a mid-century transition from rural church-centered communities to expanding suburban neighborhoods north of Columbus. In the 1950s, established crossroads like Fortson and Pierce Chapel anchored the northern reach, while closer to the city, areas like Gentian and Caroline Park were becoming densely settled. The Metropolitan Airport and industrial sites like the Gas Pumping Station signal the area's modernization during the post-war era.
