1949 Map of Midland

About this map

Midland serves as a central hub on this post-war landscape, where the Southern railroad line cuts through the heart of the terrain. The southern half of the quadrangle is dominated by the northern reaches of the Fort Benning Military Reservation, its boundary clearly marked as it follows the course of Dozier Creek. Small settlements like Flat Rock and Schatulga are situated along the rail lines, reflecting a community structure tied closely to the transportation networks of the era. Numerous unnamed Cemeteries dot the landscape near farmsteads and rural roads, providing vital clues for genealogical research. The drainage patterns of Bull Creek and Randall Creek define the local topography, while the prominent height of Lookout offers a distinct vantage point over the converging rail corridors of the Central of Georgia and Southern lines.
