2014 Map of Rico

About this map

The Chattahoochee River carves a winding course through this rural landscape at the intersection of Douglas, Fulton, Carroll, and Coweta counties. The 2014 survey documents a region characterized by small crossroad communities and family-named landmarks like McWhorter and Hollis Heights. Longstanding river crossings are noted, such as Hutchesons Ferry, providing insight into the historic transport patterns of the Chattahoochee Hills. The area is densely patterned with small lakes and ponds, including Smith Lake, Rico Lake, and Carmichel Lake. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Bethel Cem, Andrews Cem, and the County Line Cem. The presence of S Fulton Pky and Campbellton Redwine Rd shows the modernization of older paths into major transit corridors through the wooded hills.
