About this map

Grantville serves as the primary hub on this mid-1960s survey, positioned at the convergence of the Atlanta and West Point rail line and local transit routes. The landscape transitions between the industrial presence of the Water Tank and Metering Station near the town center to a dense network of rural community landmarks. Significant local history is preserved in the numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Meddas Cem, Stevens Cem, and Bradberry Cem, which dot the terrain between Yellowjacket Creek and Flat Creek.

The presence of many small congregations and schools, including the High Sch and Allen-Lee Memorial Ch near Lone Oak, reveals a distributed settlement pattern characteristic of this part of Georgia. Further south, the community of St Marks and landmarks like the Radio Tower (WQXN) provide clear reference points for those tracing the development of Coweta Co, Troup Co, and Meriwether Co during this era.
