1974 Map of Adrian

About this map

The Ohoopee River winds through the borderlands of Johnson, Emanuel, and Treutlen Counties, shaping a landscape defined by its creek-fed bottomlands and early transport routes. Centered on the town of Adrian, the map captures the community as it appeared in the mid-1970s, with its High Sch and residential street grid positioned near the junction of several county lines. The geography here is heavily influenced by the heritage of the timber and rail industries, evidenced by the prominent Old Railroad Grade and Old RR Grade segments that cut through the terrain. To the east, Keas Old Millpond and the nearby Keas Ch Cems reflect the rural social hubs of the area. Further north, the settlement of Meeks sits near the crossing of Mulepen Creek, while various family-named landmarks like Pullen Bridge and Archers Pond dot the countryside.
