1956 Map of Leslie

About this map

Starksville and Smithville anchor this mid-century look at the agricultural and transit landscape of the Georgia coastal plain. The Central Of Georgia and Seaboard Air Line railroads intersect the terrain, defining the growth patterns of small trackside communities like Leslie and De Soto. Away from the rail lines, the landscape is heavily influenced by the drainage basins of Muckalee Creek and Muckaloochee Creek, where numerous rural institutions such as Nunn Industrial Sch and Marthanna Grove Ch serve scattered farming homesteads.
