1956 Map of Albany West

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Flint River defines the landscape of Albany during a period of significant mid-century expansion into Dougherty Co. The map records a dense institutional and educational network, featuring Albany State College, the Hazard Training Sch, and a dozen other local schools such as Monroe High Sch and Carver Park Jr High Sch. Urban growth is visible through the purple-tinted extensions, contrasting the established city grid with the evolving residential areas near Lake Loretta and Palmyra Sch. To the north, Chehaw State Park sits at the confluence of Muckalee Creek and Kinchafoonee Creek. The southern reach of the city is marked by the U S Naval Res Marine Corps Supply Center and the famous Radium Springs area, reflecting the diverse military and recreational influences that shaped this Georgia hub.
