About this map

La Grange centers this mid-1960s study, displaying a growing Georgia hub defined by educational and industrial landmarks. The campus of La Grange College and the landmark Callaway Mem Tower stand as prominent features within the town's expanding footprint. To the northwest, the Chattahoochee River curves past Swanson Island, while numerous smaller waterways like Yellowjacket Creek and Shoal Creek drain the surrounding timber and agricultural lands.

Logistics and regional infrastructure are highly visible, from the Atlantic Coast Line rail routes to the Callaway Airport south of town. Notable local history sites include rural centers like Wares Crossroads and Lees Crossing, alongside several established churches such as Concord Ch and Pilgrims Rest Ch. The era's development is evident in the residential clusters at Western Heights and the varied local schools, including the Dunson Mills Sch and Thomastown Sch.
