About this map

Warm Springs Foundation and its surrounding therapeutic landscape define this 1930s survey of western Georgia. Known for its medicinal waters, the area includes the U S Fish Hatchery, the Warm Springs Landing Field, and the D Roosevelt Highway, reflecting the significant federal and public attention during the New Deal era. The terrain is marked by the prominent ridge of Pine Mountain, which creates a series of strategic gaps such as Hodo Gap and Johnson Gap.

Industrial and agricultural life is visible through a network of railroads, including the Central of Georgia and the Southern, which connect settlements like Manchester and Woodbury. Rural infrastructure is exceptionally dense here, with numerous community hubs like Union Hill Sch, Sees Old Mill, and Ebenezer Cem providing critical data points for genealogists. The eastern edge is anchored by the Flint River, where land features like Dripping Rocks and Buzzard Roost overlook the water.
