1960 Map of Latta

About this map

Latta serves as the central hub of this 1960 survey, situated at the intersection of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad and several local routes. The landscape is defined by its agricultural character and a dense network of water features, including the Catfish Canal and expansive wetlands like Buck Swamp and Ellerbe Bay. These natural features dictated the placement of settlements and transport lines, with the railroad running through Sellers and past prominent landmarks like the Latta Lookout Tower.
