1969 Map of Roanoke East

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Wehadkee Creek and its tributaries carve a path through the eastern reaches of Randolph County just before the Alabama-Georgia border. The area is defined by a series of prominent crossroads settlements like Taylors Crossroads, Lee Crossroads, and Moores Crossroads, which historically served as local hubs for the surrounding farming community. In the southwestern corner, the city of Roanoke serves as the regional center, showing a concentrated street grid that includes Government St and the College Library. The landscape is dotted with rural institutions, including numerous churches such as Welcome Home Ch and Lebanon Ch, alongside specialized education centers like the County Training Sch. Transportation and industry are anchored by the meeting of the Central of Georgia and Seaboard Coast Line railroads, while smaller local landmarks like High Shoals Falls and Rock Mills highlight the era's reliance on the local waterways and mill-town heritage.
