1951 Map of Yatesville

About this map

Yatesville and Culloden serve as the primary hubs in this central Georgia landscape, where the Central Of Georgia and Southern railroads intersect at Topeka Junction. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Echeconnee Creek, Tobler Creek, and Little Potato Creek, which carve through the clay hills of Upson, Monroe, and Crawford counties. Notable for its high density of rural institutions, the map reveals the social fabric of the early 1950s through numerous named churches like Mt Olive Ch and Sharon Ch, alongside local education centers such as Anniebel Sch and Russellville Sch. This survey documents a transition in rural life, where small settlements like The Rock and Logtown remained connected by both rail lines and developing routes like Georgia 74, reflecting an economy still closely tied to the land and its watercourses.
