1974 Map of Putney

About this map

The boundary between Dougherty Co and Mitchell Co divides a landscape defined by agriculture and early transport routes in the mid-1970s. The Georgia Northern railroad runs diagonally across the terrain, serving as a corridor for the small settlements of Putney and Williamsburg. The map reveals a high concentration of rural spiritual centers, including Mt Moriah No 2 Ch, Antioch Ch, and Rocky Hill Ch, many of which sit alongside long-established thoroughfares such as Antioch Road and Stagecoach Road. The hydrology of the area is marked by the meandering paths of Dry Creek and Raccoon Creek, while modern infrastructure like a Pipeline and a large Substation begin to intersect with older landmarks. Genealogists and historians can trace the transition from 19th-century rural life toward late 20th-century utility and transit development.
