1954 Map of Campbellton

About this map

The Chattahoochee River defines the boundary between Douglas and Fulton counties, carving a winding path through a landscape of creek-fed valleys and timbered ridges. Near the center of this terrain, the historic community of Campbellton sits along the Chattahoochee River at the intersection of Cochran Road and Tuggle Road. The settlement patterns of the mid-20th century are evident in the clustering of churches and schools, such as Mount Carmel Sch and its associated Mount Carmel Sch Cem, alongside smaller communities like Community Grove and Pleasant Grove. In the northeast corner, the protected woods of Sweetwater Creek State Park surround the namesake Sweetwater Creek, providing a stark contrast to the emerging residential development seen in the Douglasville area. Local waterways including Anneewakee Creek and Bear Creek create a dense drainage network that dictated the placement of early farms and thoroughfares like Slater Mill Road.
