1964 Map of Mc Donough

About this map

The Southern railroad corridor anchors the landscape of central Henry County, connecting the established community of McDonough with the smaller settlements of Flippen and Blacksville. This mid-century survey reveals a transition between town and country, where the urban grid of the county seat gives way to a network of family-named roads like Chambers Road and Bridges Road. Social centers are clearly defined by numerous rural congregations and burial grounds, including the Shingle Roof Campground, Philadelphia Ch, and the Mt Olive Sch. Toward the southern edge, the terrain descends into the Bethlehem Bottoms near the Towaliga River, highlighting the agricultural value of the area's many waterways such as Cotton Indian Creek and Tissahaw Creek. Aviation activity is noted at the McDonough Airport and a secondary Airstrip, reflecting the area's development as it appeared in the early 1960s.
