About this map

Cedartown serves as the focal point of this Northwest Georgia landscape, where industrial infrastructure meets a dense network of rural communities during the late 1960s. The town is bounded by significant burial grounds including Greenwood Cem and Northview Cem, while its outskirts are shaped by the paths of the Central of Georgia, the Southern Railway, and the Seaboard Coast Line. This intersection of major rail carriers highlights the region's historical role as a transportation hub.

Further into the countryside, the map reveals a deeply established social fabric centered around institutions like the Lake Creek Sch and numerous country churches, such as Wesley Chapel and New Bethel Ch. The terrain transitions from the developed streets of the county seat to landmarks like Whorton Hill and the Brice Hill Country Club, illustrating the mid-century evolution of land use in Polk County.
