1965 Map of Newnan North

About this map

Newnan expands northward during the mid-1960s, showing a landscape where residential growth begins to meet the established industrial and agricultural roots of Coweta County. The Central of Georgia and Atlanta and West Point railroads anchor the local economy, passing through manufacturing centers like Arco Mills and the community of Sargent. Historic rural life is evidenced by numerous country churches and cemeteries, such as Andrews Chapel and Oak Grove Ch, which dot the terrain alongside more modern developments like Windsor Estates and Sherwood Forest. Along the western edge, the Chattahoochee River defines the county boundary, while interior waterways like Wahoo Creek and Cedar Creek are punctuated by landmarks such as Sewell Millpond and Dunaway Gardens. This survey captures the transition from a rail-dependent textile and farming region to a suburbanizing extension of the Atlanta corridor.
