1946 Map of Kensington

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Chickamauga and its surrounding agricultural valleys are captured here in 1946, a landscape defined by the parallel ridges of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge. The topography dictates the path of human settlement, with the Central of Georgia Railroad and Georgia Highway 27 running north-to-south through the gaps. This area of Walker County shows a high density of rural institutions, including the Gordon Lee Sch, Garrett Ch, and Old Bethel Ch, alongside numerous family-named landmarks like Phillips Spring and the Bailey Cem. The drainage patterns of West Chickamauga Creek and Crawfish Creek are visible as they wind through Straight Gut Valley, supporting sites like Hall Mill. This map offers a detailed view of the rural Georgia landscape before postwar suburban expansion, preserving the locations of springs such as Wright Mineral Spring and geographic features like Catlett Gap.
