About this map

Lost Mountain and its surrounding hillsides dominate the center of this Cobb County landscape during the mid-1950s. The agricultural character of the region is evident in the network of country roads connecting small settlements like Due West, Davis Crossroads, and Macland. Local community life is anchored by a significant number of rural churches, including Piney Grove Ch, Post Oak Ch, and New Friendship Ch. Educational roots are visible at the John McEachern Sch in the southern portion of the quadrangle.

Industrial and transport corridors are defined by the Seaboard Coast Line and Southern railroads crossing the lower section of the map. In addition to the prominent peaks of Lost Mtn and Pine Mtn, the terrain is carved by waterways such as Allatoona Creek, Mud Creek, and Powder Springs Creek. Purple revision markings indicate growth and new road developments observed during the late 1960s, showing the early suburbanization of this historically rural Georgia district.
