1979 Map of Atlanta
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
The Norfolk And Western railroad corridor anchors the landscape of northern Macon County in this late 1970s survey, passing directly through the community of Atlanta. This area is characterized by the branching drainages of the Middle Fork Salt River, where several smaller waterways like Willow Branch and Bee Branch carve into the agricultural terrain. The map captures several rural focal points, including the small settlement of Economy and the localized importance of Mt Tabor Ch and its adjacent Mt Tabor Cem. To the south, the Atlanta State Wildlife Area and Atlanta City Lake highlight the integration of water management and conservation within the township boundaries of Lyda and Jackson. For family historians, the presence of localized burial sites such as Hardgrove Cem and Shiloh Cem provide specific points of reference for tracing early resident lineages in this part of Missouri.
