1958 Map of Buchanan

About this map

Dugdown Mountain creates a prominent topographical spine across this Northwest Georgia landscape, separating the drainage of the Euharlee Creek to the north from the Tallapoosa River system to the south. The area serves as a significant transit corridor in the late 1950s, evidenced by the Central of Georgia Railroad navigating the southern valleys and the Seaboard Air Line Railroad crossing near Rockmart. This town at the map's northern edge is characterized by industrial activity, including a Quarry and proximity to Van Wert.
