About this map

The Chattahoochee River marks the northwestern corner of this mid-1960s landscape, where rural communities like Roscoe and Sargent sit amidst a network of creeks and small lakes. In the southern half of the map, the city of Newnan expands northward, featuring established landmarks such as the Elm Street Sch, Newnan Jr High Sch, and the Ymca. The transition from the urban core to the surrounding countryside is evident in the development of neighborhoods like Sherwood Forest and Windsor Estates, while the Central Of Georgia railroad line cuts through the terrain, connecting industrial sites such as Arneo Mills. Notable local gathering spots and institutions include the Newnan Country Club, a Drive-in Theater, and the County Hospital. Further out, the map details numerous small family and community landmarks, from the Dunaway Gardens to rural worship centers like Andrew Chapel and Jones Chapel Cem.
