About this map

Chattahoochee River frontage and the industrial development of the early 1980s define this landscape where Carroll, Heard, and Coweta counties meet. A significant mid-century update captures the Hal B Wansley Power plant with its associated conveyors and substations, marking a transition from the area's rural agricultural roots to its role in regional power generation. The Central of Georgia rail line runs parallel to the river, servicing the industrial corridor.

Local history is preserved through a dense network of family-named landmarks and rural congregations. Small hubs like Lowell and Glenloch are surrounded by several historic sites, including Mount Lowell Ch and New Lebanon Ch. Genealogists will find numerous small burial grounds such as Hollingsworth Cem and Johnson Chapel Cem scattered across the drainage basins of Yellowdirt Creek and Whooping Creek, providing a record of the families that settled these hillsides.
