About this map

The Chattahoochee River marks the northwestern boundary of this 1950s Georgia landscape, where agricultural tradition met mid-century infrastructure. Near the settled community of Palmetto, the Central Of Georgia railroad and the Roosevelt Highway And West Point corridor define the local transit network. The area is dotted with civic and religious landmarks essential for genealogical research, including the Georgia Baptist Childrens Home and several rural congregations such as Antioch Ch and St Pauls Ch.

Transitioning from the river lowlands to the uplands, the terrain is carved by numerous drainages like Bear Creek and Pea Creek. Notable local landmarks like the South Fulton Skyport and the Cedar Grove Sch reflect the community's development during this era. Small settlements like Rivertown and various rural cemeteries provide specific points of interest for those tracing family roots in Fulton and Coweta counties.
