About this map

Industrial and agricultural development defines the northern landscape of Griffin during the mid-1960s. The map captures the specialized footprint of State Experimental Farms and the bustling district of Experiment, located just north of the city center. Along the Southern and Central of Georgia railroads, the textile heritage of the region is evident at Highland Mills. To the west, the recently established Heads Creek Reservoir stands as a significant hydrological feature, with its spillway clearly marked.

Rural life in Spalding County is documented through a dense network of country roads like Birdie Road and Vineyard Road, connecting small communities such as Sunny Side and Pomona. Local genealogy is well-served by the presence of numerous neighborhood landmarks, including Wesley Ch, Red Oak Ch, and various schools like Beaver Brook Sch and Kincaid Sch. These details provide a clear view of the transition from traditional farming to post-war suburban and industrial growth.
