1965 Map of Newnan South

About this map

The rail-driven growth of Newnan and its satellite communities defines this mid-century landscape, where the Central of Georgia and the Atlanta and West Point railroads converge. In the north, the city's infrastructure is visible through the Newnan Waterworks Lakes and the Filtration Plant, while several educational and religious landmarks like Atkinson Sch and Unity Ch serve the local population. Moving south, the terrain transitions into a mosaic of small crossroads and rural centers including Moreland, Saint Charles, and Bohanon Crossroad. The southern section is notably marked by the winding course of the New River and its tributaries like Yellowjacket Cr, which cut through the hills near Suwannee Mountain. Family-named sites and rural institutions, such as Old Bethlehem Ch and Stephens Lake, provide essential data for those tracing the local heritage of Coweta County.
