About this map

Dallas serves as the focal point of this 1970s survey, illustrating the convergence of the Southern Railway and the Seaboard Coast Line in Paulding County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Pumpkinvine Creek and its many tributaries, such as Bone Creek and Raper Creek, which carve through the terrain surrounding Elsberry Mountain. The settlement pattern reveals a series of smaller communities and crossroads like New Hope and New Canaan, each anchored by local landmarks such as Mt Tabor Ch and Matthews Sch.

A distinct contrast exists between the traditional rural layout of churches and cemeteries, like the Macedonia Ch and Mt Zion Cem, and newer 20th-century developments. These modern additions include a Drag Strip near Picketts Mill Creek, a Drive-in Theater along the highway, and several sewage and filtration facilities, signaling the area's transition into a more suburbanized environment as it moved toward the turn of the century.
