1950 Map of Louvale

About this map

Louvale and its surrounding rural landscapes in Stewart County are documented here just as the post-war era began to reshape the Georgia countryside. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of Hannahatchee Creek and Colochee Creek, where small communities and family-named landmarks are connected by the Seaboard Line railroad. The geography reveals a community built around local institutions, featuring Mt Gilead Ch, Bethlehem Ch, and the Louvale Sch. To the north, the boundary between Chattahoochee and Stewart Counties cuts through a dense network of tributaries including Hichitee Creek and Black Creek. The presence of Louvale Station and the southern settlement of Charles illustrates the rail-dependent economy of the mid-20th century, providing a clear record for genealogists and local historians tracing families and properties in this section of Southwest Georgia.
