About this map

Arnco Mills and the company-town infrastructure around the Central of Georgia Railroad dominate the industrial landscape of Coweta County in the mid-1960s. This survey documents the northwesterly expansion of Newnan, where residential developments like Sherwood Forest and Windsor Estates began encroaching on established rural tracts. The transition from agricultural use is evident in the cluster of local institutions, from the County Prison Camp and County Hospital to the Arnco-Sargent School.

Along the Chattahoochee River and Snake Creek, the terrain remains dominated by water features such as Sewell Millpond and Dunaway Gardens. For genealogists, the map is a detailed record of community foundations, pinpointing numerous country churches and burial grounds, including Jones Chapel Cem, Macedonia Cem, and Smith Chapel. The network of primary routes, including Sewell Mill Road and Macedonia Church Road, connects these outlying hamlets to the urban center of Newnan.
