1964 Map of Athens East

About this map

The North Fork Oconee River and the Middle Oconee River converge here, framing the eastern expansion of Athens and its nearby university facilities. This mid-century landscape is defined by its educational and research institutions, including the sprawling University of Georgia Poultry Research Center and the University of Georgia School of Forestry at Whitehall. To the east, the rural community of Winterville is centered at the junction of the Smithonia Road and the Seaboard Coast Line railroad. Genealogy and local history are preserved through numerous family and community sites like the Oconee Hill Cemetery and rural churches such as Tuckston Ch and New Grove Ch. The map also captures the Athens Municipal Airport and residential developments like Green Acres, illustrating the city's mid-century growth pattern toward the Oglethorpe County line.
