1955 Map of Fortson

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Columbus serves as the focal point for this mid-century survey of the Georgia-Alabama borderlands, where the Chattahoochee River carves a deep boundary between Muscogee County and Alabama. To the north, the small settlement of Fortson sits along the Southern railroad line, surrounded by a network of family-named landmarks and rural congregations like Pierce Chapel Church and Mount Gilead Church. The landscape transitions from the developed streets of Bibb City and Caroline Park to the expansive drainage basins of Bull Creek and Heiferhorn Creek.
