1956 Map of Redan

About this map

Redan and the rural communities of DeKalb County are captured here in the mid-1950s, a period of transition as the area moved toward suburbanization. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the South River, which flows past landmarks like Panola Mountain and Pig Mountain in the south. Local life centered on a dense network of country churches and schools, such as Wesley Chapel, Flat Rock Ch, and the New County Line Sch.
