About this map

Warm Springs Foundation and its therapeutic waters anchor this 1930s survey of the Pine Mountain ridge, a landscape defined by sharp topographical relief and intersectional infrastructure. The map documents the region's development during the New Deal era, including the Warn Springs Landing Field and the U S Fish Hatchery. Further east, the rail-oriented hub of Manchester serves as a nexus for the Atlanta Birmingham and Coast and the Southern railroads, illustrating the industrial importance of the gap through the mountain.

Rural life is preserved in the detailed marking of numerous crossroads, such as Bulloch Crossroads and Hunters Crossroads, alongside local institutions like Williams Chapel and Campbell Sch. The terrain is characterized by named peaks and gaps like Dowdell Knob and Patrick Gap, while the Flint River forms a significant natural boundary to the northeast, crossed by Walls Bridge and the historical Rocky Shoals Ford.
