1934 Map of Warm Springs

About this map

Warm Springs Foundation and the adjacent US Fish Hatchery anchor this 1930s landscape, reflecting the region's prominence as a center for recovery and conservation. The terrain is defined by the prominent ridges of Pine Mountain and Oak Mountain, which separate the rail-linked industrial hubs like Manchester from smaller agricultural settlements such as Raleigh and Shiloh. The transportation network is remarkably dense, showing the intersection of the Central of Georgia and the Southern and Atlanta Birmingham and Coast railroads. A series of community crossroads, including McLendon Crossroads and Bulloch Crossroads, illustrate the rural social structure of the era, where local churches like Cane Creek Ch and Antioch Ch served as primary landmarks for Meriwether, Harris, and Talbot counties.
