About this map

Newnan serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s study, displaying a transition from the dense urban grid near the Courthouse and the Central of Georgia rail lines to the outlying rural landscapes of Coweta County. The southern expansion of the city is evident through infrastructure like the Newnan Waterworks Lakes and the Sewage Disposal facility, while the industrial character of East Newnan is highlighted by the Pumping Station and water tanks.

To the south, smaller communities and crossroads like Moreland and Bohanon Crossroad reveal a landscape defined by local faith and education, including Evergreen Ch and Bethlehem Ch. The terrain is deeply carved by waterways such as the New River and Yellowjacket Creek, which dictated the winding paths of rural roads like Corinth Road. This survey also meticulously captures property boundaries with fine red dashed lines, offering a precise look at mid-century land use and field patterns.
