1973 Map of Nebo

About this map

Sweetwater Creek and its many tributaries, including Lick Log Creek and Davis Mill Creek, define the landscape of this region during the early 1970s. The map illustrates a rural environment in transition, where established settlements like Hiram and Sudie are joined by several religious and educational centers. Of particular note for genealogists and local historians are the numerous country churches scattered across the terrain, such as Cochran Ridge Ch, Bethany Ch, and Callie Harbin Ch. The southern portion of the sheet shows the expanding footprint of Douglasville near Cedar Mountain. Infrastructure of the era is represented by the Southern railway line in the northeast and a network of named local routes like Maroney Mill Road and Brittain Road, reflecting the agrarian and early suburban development of the Paulding and Douglas county line.
