1971 Map of Macon
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Macon serves as the focal point of this 1971 survey, showing a well-established county seat defined by its dual-railway heritage. The intersection of the Burlington Northern and Norfolk and Western tracks underscores the town's historical importance as a transit hub, while the surrounding landscape reveals the industrial and civic infrastructure of the era, from the Macon Power Memorial Airport to the Strip Mine operations further south near Excello. Community landmarks are particularly well-documented, including the central Courthouse, the Fairground, and several significant local burial grounds such as Oakwood Cem and East Woodlawn Cem. The terrain transitions from the developed streets of Hudson to the winding course of the Middle Fork Salt River, with rural life anchored by institutions like Chapel Hill Ch and Friendship Ch.
