About this map

The Chattahoochee River carves a deep boundary between Douglas and Fulton counties in this mid-century portrait of a rural landscape on the cusp of suburban expansion. Centered on the settlement of Campbellton, the map reveals a network of creek-fed valleys including Anneewakee Creek and Sweetwater Creek. Local life is anchored by country institutions like the Mount Carmel Sch (Cem), Community Grove Ch, and Pleasant Grove Ch, which served established farming communities before the modern road systems fully integrated the area into the metropolitan orbit.

Evidence of technological infrastructure appears in the form of multiple pipelines and a Radio Range Sta, contrasting with the more traditional land uses suggested by Cochran Mill Branch and various local lakes such as Turnipseed Lake and Coursey Lake. To the north, the growing edge of Douglasville begins to appear, while smaller crossroads like Cedar Grove and Slater maintain their distinct rural character.
