1964 Map of Abbottsford

About this map

The Chattahoochee River corridor along the Georgia and Alabama border underwent a significant transformation as the waters of West Point Lake began to define the landscape. This mid-century survey, with later revisions, shows the transition of rural creek valleys into a series of recreation areas like Whitewater Recreation Area and Caney Creek Recreation Area. The Seaboard Railroad cuts through the terrain, connecting small settlements such as Abbottsford and Evansville. Cultural life is anchored by numerous country churches, including Antioch Ch, Harmony Ch, and Wehadkee Ch. Historic infrastructure like McCosh Mill and Mc Cosh Mill Road indicates the early industrial and transportation patterns that predated the reservoir, while the purple revision markings highlight the extent of the new shoreline and submerged zones.
