1979 Map of Griffin

About this map

The Flint River and Chattahoochee River define the drainage of this central Georgia landscape during the late 1970s, as the region experienced significant growth between major municipalities. Griffin serves as a primary hub for the Central of Georgia and Southern railroads, while Peachtree City and Newnan show the northward expansion toward the metropolitan fringe. The presence of the Atlanta International Raceway near Hampton and the State Experimental Farm at Experiment highlight the mix of modern recreational development and established agricultural research defining the era.
