About this map

The Chattahoochee River carves a central path through this mid-1960s landscape, serving as the border between the growing industrial centers of Lanett, Alabama, and West Point, Georgia. The map documents a dense network of civic and religious infrastructure, featuring numerous rural congregations like Friendship Ch and Bethel Ch, alongside essential services such as the Valley Hospital and the Gaging Sta on the riverbank.

Evidence of the region's historical defensive and transport history is visible in the presence of the Fort Tyler Cem and the extensive Atlanta and West Point Railroad corridor. Small communities and named junctions like Gabbettville and Piedmont Heights are connected by a web of local routes including Potts Road and Gabbett Ville Road, reflecting a transition from scattered agricultural settlements to more structured suburban and industrial development at the state line.
