About this map

Griffin anchoring the southern edge of this survey reflects a period of agricultural and industrial transitions in North Central Georgia. The presence of the State Experimental Farms and the community of Experiment highlights the region's commitment to agricultural science, while Highland Mills points toward its manufacturing history. Northward, the land is etched with several named watercourses including Heads Creek and its associated Reservoir, which feed into the rural landscape shaped by long-standing family roads like Halls Road and Manley Road.

Transportation corridors define the settlement patterns here, with the Central of Georgia and Southern railroads running north-south through Sunny Side and Pomona. Local life is well-documented through numerous landmarks such as Beaver Brook Sch and several country churches like Red Oak Ch and Damascus Ch. This detailed look at the 1960s includes purple photorevisions from 1973, showing subtle expansions in suburban Griffin and the residential growth near Esmond.
