About this map

Warm Springs Foundation and its surrounding health and recreational landscape anchor this mid-1930s survey of the Pine Mountain region. The infrastructure reflects a town transformed by its therapeutic waters and federal attention, featuring the Warm Springs Landing Field, the U S Fish Hatchery, and the D Roosevelt Highway winding through the gaps. Beyond the curative springs, the map documents a network of small agricultural hubs like McLendon Crossroads and Bulloch Crossroads, alongside the industrial and rail activity in Manchester and Woodbury.

Tracing the Flint River along the eastern boundary, researchers can find long-standing rural landmarks including Seestad Mill and the Rocky Shoals Ford. The topography is dominated by the ridges of Oak Mountain, with notable heights like Dowdell Knob and the Davis Memorial Fire Tower providing strategic overlooks. This era was characterized by the convergence of traditional river-and-rail economies, seen at Halls Bridge, with new public works and conservation efforts.
