1956 Map of Macon

About this map

The Ocmulgee River serves as the central artery for this mid-century portrait of Central Georgia, where the industrial and educational core of Macon meets a landscape deeply rooted in its Mississippian and early American past. The map preserves the complex layout of the city during a period of significant post-war expansion, showing a dense network of educational institutions such as Mercer University and Wesleyan College, alongside specialized facilities like the Georgia Academy for the Blind.
