1973 Map of Fort Valley West

About this map

The railroad junction at Fort Valley serves as the focal point for this mid-Georgia survey, where the Southern and Central of Georgia lines intersect. The map documents the city's infrastructure during a period of growth, detailing the campus of Fort Valley State College and the local street grid featuring Magnolia St and College St. To the northwest, the rural landscape of Peach and Crawford counties is dotted with small settlements like Zenith and Lee Pope, along with numerous family and church burial grounds including Ross Chapel Cem and Gassick Cem. This edition includes purple photogrammetric revisions that highlight changes in the built environment between the original 1973 field check and 1985. Notable landmarks such as the County Hospital and the Radio Tower (WFPM) anchor the town's social geography during the late twentieth century.
