1955 Map of Midland

About this map

Midland stands as a central rail junction in this mid-century survey of the Muscogee and Harris county line, where the Southern and Central Of Georgia railroads intersect. The landscape is defined by its transition from small rural communities to the expansive north-western boundary of the Fort Benning Military Reservation. Local life is anchored by family and community landmarks like the Lynch Road Sch, Pitts Chapel, and the Locust Hill Ch, showing a typical Georgia Piedmont settlement pattern of the era. Water resources are plentiful, with Bull Creek and numerous man-made features such as Britton Ponds and Lake Pines dotting the terrain. The presence of a Public Work Camp near the rail lines and a Water Pumping Sta indicates the infrastructure supporting the area's growth and the military facility's operations during the mid-1950s.
