About this map

The Atlanta and West Point RR cuts a diagonal path through this Troup County landscape, connecting rural settlements and providing a lifeline for the agricultural economy. Anchored by the community of Cannonville, the map reveals a network of country roads like Cannonville Road and Gabbett Ville Road that link historic crossroads and family-named homesteads. The terrain is defined by the drainages of Long Cane Creek and Shoal Creek, with the prominent elevation of Hogg Mtn rising near the center of the sheet.

Local history is preserved through the density of country churches and family burial grounds, such as Mt Zion Ch, Lebanon Ch, and the McCalley Cem. These landmarks, alongside features like a Quarry and a Dragstrip, illustrate the diverse land use in the mid-1960s. Genealogists can trace family connections at Smiths Crossroads and Jones Crossroads, while the inclusion of the Radio Tower (WXL) reflects the era's technological infrastructure.
