1964 Map of Abbottsford

About this map

The Chattahoochee River carves through this borderland where Alabama and Georgia meet, shaping the development of rural communities like Abbottsford and Evansville. By the mid-1960s, the landscape was undergoing a significant transformation with the creation of West Point Lake, which inundated the lowlands near the confluence of Wehadkee Creek and Wilson Creek. This era of change is documented by the presence of numerous small country churches, including State Line Ch and Harmony Ch, which served as the social anchors for farming families in Troup and Chambers counties.
