1956 Map of Perry
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Perry serves as the regional hub for central Georgia on this mid-1950s survey, showing a landscape defined by the intersection of the Central and Southern railroads. The area's social fabric is visible through a dense network of rural community landmarks, including the County Training Sch, Southside Sch, and numerous churches such as Laidler Springs Ch and Green Grove Ch. To the east, the Ocmulgee River forms the natural boundary, while the industrial character of the era is marked by several Strip Mines operating near Clinchfield. The map reveals a transition from the larger settlement at Perry to smaller rural outposts like Elko, Grovania, and Hayneville. Local researchers can trace family roots through many small burial sites and specific family-named landmarks like Walnut Cem and the Kathleen Observation Tower.
