About this map

Warm Springs and the therapeutic facilities of the Warm Springs Foundation serve as the centerpiece of this mid-1930s survey. The landscape is defined by the prominent ridges of Pine Mountain and Oak Mountain, where the Roosevelt Highway winds through significant gaps like Hodo Gap and Johnson Gap. The survey captures the region's complex rural infrastructure, ranging from the Warm Springs Landing Field to the U S Fish Hatchery near Cold Spring.

Rail traffic from the Southern and Atlanta Birmingham and Coast railroads links industrial hubs like Manchester and Woodbury with numerous agricultural outposts such as Barnes Crossroads and Snelsons Crossroads. Local history is preserved in the placement of country churches like Antioch Ch and Union Hill Ch, as well as industrial remnants including Sees Old Mill and Lawrence Mill along the Flint River.
