1999 Map of Milstead
USGS Topo · Published 2002About this map
The Yellow River winds through this Piedmont landscape at the turn of the millennium, connecting the industrial heritage of Milstead with the expanding commercial center of Conyers. The map captures a transition in land use, where traditional landmarks like Costley Millpond and Dials Millpond exist alongside the expansive Georgia International Horse Park, a legacy of the 1996 Olympic Games. Rural history is preserved in the naming of several country churches such as Philadelphia Ch, Double Springs Ch, and Mt Zion Ch, as well as the Hightower Indian Trail Monument near Zingara. To the north, the Black Shoals Reservoir dominates the drainage of Big Haynes Creek, providing a focal point for the region's water management and recreation. The convergence of Rockdale and Walton counties highlights the settlement patterns of towns like Almon and Oxford as they grew along historic corridors like Hightower Road.
