1973 Map of Buchanan

About this map

Buchanan serves as the focal point of this Haralson County landscape during the early 1970s, where the Central of Georgia railroad cuts a diagonal path through the terrain. The map documents a community defined by its rural institutions, with numerous country churches like Bethlehem Ch, Mt Vernon Ch, and Welcome Hill Ch serving the outlying areas. Water resources are central to the region's geography, from the winding path of the Tallapoosa River in the north to localized landmarks like Abernathys Mill and Edwards Lake.
