1964 Map of Lanett South

About this map

Industrial textile communities along the Chattahoochee River define this mid-1960s landscape, where the Chattahoochee Valley Railway connects the mill towns of Shawmut, Langdale, Fairfax, and River View. In Lanett, the urban core is marked by civic and educational landmarks such as Lanier High Sch and Oak Wood Cem. The river serves as a natural boundary between Alabama and Georgia, with several large islands including Crow Hop Island and Johnson Island positioned near the headwaters of Lake Harding. Away from the river, the landscape transitions to rural homesteads and spiritual centers like Happy Valley Ch and Friendship Ch. Transportation infrastructure is prominent, featuring the Western Railway of Alabama and the Lanett Municipal Airport, reflecting the region's mid-century role as a hub for both industry and transit.
