1958 Map of Dallas

About this map

Dallas serves as the central hub of this late 1950s Georgia landscape, where the Southern Railway and various regional roads converge in Paulding County. The map reveals a densely settled rural network defined by an exceptional number of country churches and community centers, such as New Hope Ch, Friendship Ch, and Star of Bethlehem Ch. To the north, the terrain rises toward Elsberry Mtn and Brushy Mountain, while the southern reaches transition into the rolling hills near Villa Rica and Douglasville. The drainage patterns of Pumpkinvine Creek and Sweetwater Creek dictate the local geography, carving through a landscape dotted with small family-named landmarks and essential local institutions like the Shady Grove Sch. This survey captures the county's character just before the significant suburban expansion of the later twentieth century.
