About this map

Carrollton serves as the bustling hub of this 1970s survey, defined by its traditional street grid centered around the Courthouse and City Hall. The footprint of West Georgia College marks the western edge of the city, while the Central of Georgia railroad provides the industrial spine for the region, connecting the main town to smaller outlying settlements like Clem and Curtis. To the northeast, Lake Carroll and the nearby Fairgrounds offer clear evidence of the community's mid-century expansion and recreational development.

Beyond the urban center, the landscape is shaped by the winding Little Tallapoosa River and numerous rural landmarks that provide deep value for local historians. Distinctive sites such as Sunset Hills Country Club, the Airport (Abandoned), and several country churches like Beulah Ch and Antioch Ch dot the terrain. The presence of specialized facilities, such as the County Vocational Sch and Oak Mountain Academy, highlights the educational infrastructure serving Carroll County at this time.
