1973 Map of Macon NW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Ocmulgee River carves a winding path through this 1973 landscape, serving as the boundary between Monroe and Jones counties. Along the western banks, the Southern Railway tracks parallel the water, connecting the small settlement of Popes Ferry in the north to the industrial activity at Arkwright, characterized by a prominent Power Plant and nearby Drive-in Theater. To the north, the Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge preserves a significant portion of the wooded terrain, while the southern edge shows the suburban expansion of Macon. This era captures a mix of academic and residential growth, featuring the campus of Wesleyan College and the developments of Timberlane and Normandy. Numerous family landmarks and rural institutions, such as Mt Pleasant Ch and the Mc Kay Cem, are scattered throughout the hills of Pea Ridge and Pate Ridge.
