1970 Map of Gordon

About this map

The Chattahoochee River defines the border between Houston County, Alabama and Early County, Georgia in this 1970 landscape. The town of Gordon serves as a local hub near the Seaboard Coast Line railroad, which crosses the river at Alaga. This era shows a mix of traditional agricultural settlements and emerging 20th-century industry, particularly near Smith Bend where the Great Northern Airport and several Industrial Waste Ponds are situated. Rural life is anchored by numerous community landmarks such as St Stephens Ch, Liberty Ch, and Carver Sch. The map also captures several historic river access points, including Upper Gordon Landing and Hayesville Landing, reflecting the river's enduring role in local transport and commerce. Tributaries like Sawhatchee Creek and Wilson Creek snake through the terrain, feeding into the main channel near the Cedar Springs community.
