About this map

Monroe serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, shown at a time of local growth and civic consolidation. The city center is densely detailed with municipal landmarks including the Mem Library, City Hall, and the Fire Sta. Educational life is represented by Carver High Sch and the local High Sch, while the Nowell Recreation Center and a Golf Course indicate the development of community spaces.

The surrounding rural Walton County landscape is characterized by a high density of family and church burying grounds, such as Old Breedlove Cem, Woods Cem, and Phillips Cem. Numerous creeks, including Shoal Creek, Jacks Creek, and Hard Labor Creek, carve through the terrain, with small settlements like Campton and Walker Park connected by an evolving road network. The presence of the County Prison Farm and the Municipal Airport reflects the diverse land use outside the urban core.
