About this map

Carrollton serves as the focal point of this 1970s survey, centered on the expansion of West Georgia College and the surrounding infrastructure of Carroll County. The urban core is detailed with civic landmarks like the Courthouse, City Hall, and Library, while the periphery shows a mix of educational and social institutions including Oak Mountain Academy and Central High Sch. Water defines the local geography, with the Little Tallapoosa River winding north of town and Lake Carroll providing a significant recreational and utility feature.

To the southeast, the landscape transitions into the hills around Oak Mountain, where the small settlement of Clem sits along the Central of Georgia railroad line. Rural life is anchored by a dense network of country churches such as Beulah Ch, Shiloh Ch, and Stripling Chapel. The map documents early 1980s revisions in purple, reflecting the growth of suburban residential areas and the Sunset Hills Country Club.
