1973 Map of Gordon

About this map

The Central of Georgia railroad corridor anchors this mid-Georgia landscape, connecting the industrial operations of Gordon and Stevens Pottery to the wider region. In the early 1970s, the area's economy is clearly defined by natural resource extraction, evidenced by several sandpits and a large claypit north of Gordon. The town of Gordon itself is well-developed for the era, featuring a hospital, a large school system, and the Radio Tower (WKOG) overlooking the residential streets.
