1973 Map of New Georgia

About this map

New Georgia and the surrounding woodlands of Paulding and Carroll counties are mapped here during a period of steady rural development in the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Little Tallapoosa River and numerous tributaries such as Sweetwater Creek and Pumpkinvine Creek, which carve through the terrain. A strong network of local institutions is evident through the many community landmarks, including White Oak Springs Ch, Harmony Grove Ch, and Wesley Chapel. The southern portion of the map touches the northern edge of Villa Rica, showing the transition from the town center to the outlying areas like Stockmar and Highpoint. Evidence of earlier land use is visible at the abandoned airport and along the Old Railroad Grade Road, while the sprawling Hannah Crider Swamp indicates the persistent wet lowlands that have historically influenced road placement and agricultural patterns in this part of Georgia.
