1955 Map of Midland

About this map

The settlement of Midland sits at the northern edge of the Fort Benning Military Reservation in this mid-century survey of the Muscogee and Harris county line. The landscape is defined by the crossing of the Southern and Central of Georgia railroads, which facilitated local transport and industry. Community life is evident through numerous rural landmarks, including the Lynch Road Sch, Locust Hill Ch, and several family burial sites like Jenkin Cem and Russell Cem. Water resources are plentiful throughout the undulating terrain, from larger bodies like Lake Pines and Spring Head Lake to the meandering courses of Bull Creek and Randall Creek. West of the primary rail line, the small communities of Flat Rock and Schatulga appear alongside a network of roads like Georgia 315, illustrating the early post-war development of the Georgia countryside before significant suburban expansion.
