About this map

Newnan serves as the focal point for this mid-1960s study, displaying a transition from its urban center to the surrounding agricultural and industrial landscapes of Coweta County. The southern expansion of the city is marked by civic and educational landmarks, including Atkinson Sch and the Central High Sch. The region's transport network is defined by the Central Of Georgia and the Atlanta And West Point railroads, which facilitated local trade and connected smaller outlying communities like Moreland and East Newnan.

Rural life is anchored by family and community centers such as Old Bethlehem Ch and Evergreen Ch, while water resources like the Newnan Waterworks Lakes and Stephens Lake punctuate the landscape. The infrastructure of the era is evident in the presence of the County Airport and the Pumping Station Aqueduct near the New River, illustrating the engineered growth of the county before the modern interstate era reached its full development.
