1951 Map of Yatesville

About this map

Topeka Junction serves as a primary rail focal point where the Central of Georgia line intersects this rural landscape on the borders of Upson, Lamar, Monroe, and Crawford Counties. The mid-century settlement pattern is defined by a dense network of country churches and family cemeteries, such as Antioch Ch and Sneed Cem, reflecting a deeply rooted agricultural society. Small rural schools like Anniebel Sch and Sugar Hill Sch are scattered across the terrain, illustrating the localized nature of education before widespread consolidation. The Southern railroad cuts through the center of the sheet, connecting towns like Yatesville and Culloden. This area is characterized by numerous creek branches, including Auchumpkee Creek and Echeconnee Creek, which dictated the placement of early settlements and roads.
