About this map

The Louisville And Nashville railroad corridor anchors this survey of Northwest Georgia, connecting the industrial and residential core of Calhoun in the north to Adairsville at the southern boundary. This 1970s landscape is a mix of developing valley floors and the prominent ridges of Robbins Mountain and John Gunn Mountain to the west. Rural life is evidenced by the density of community landmarks, including Liberty Sch and numerous country churches such as St Clements Ch, Salem Ch, and Union Grove Ch.

Infrastructure of the early 1970s is well-documented, featuring the David Airport with its associated Airway Beacon, a Drive-in Theater on the outskirts of Calhoun, and a Sewage Disposal Pond. Local history and geology intersect at Yerbrough Cave near Collins Mtn, while the Oostanaula River marks the western edge of the quadrangle. The map also records several family and community burial sites, such as Colbert Cem and Curtis Cem, providing valuable data for genealogical research in Gordon Co and Bartow Co.
