Georgia Railroads Elevation Sketch Captures State’s Summit

A reproduced map from the Georgia Railroad Commission by M. C Kollock outlines altitudes along major lines from Savannah to Chattanooga and east to west. It highlights the common apex at Atlanta 1050 feet above sea level, notes depressions near Calhoun and the Chattahoochee basin, and contrasts the Southern Coast Line’s relatively level southern Georgia with northern Piedmont’s rolling terrain.
