1973 Map of New Georgia

About this map

New Georgia and Union anchor this topographic survey of the rolling West Georgia terrain at the junction of Paulding, Carroll, and Douglas counties. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Little Tallapoosa River and the winding course of Pumpkinvine Creek, where small settlements and rural crossroads like Smyrna and Embry remained established through the early 1970s. This edition includes purple revisions from the 1980s, revealing suburban expansion and land-use shifts around Villa Rica in the south. Local history and genealogy are prominent across the sheet, from the Pine Log Cem and Zion Ch to the quiet Roadside Park and the varied water bodies such as Legion Lake, Lake Paradise, and Tumblins Lake. The map also captures infrastructure in transition, documenting a long pipeline corridor and the remnant traces of an Old Railroad Grade.
