About this map

Rockmart and the adjacent settlement of Van Wert anchor the northern edge of this survey, where the Southern and Seaboard Coast Line railroads converge. The landscape transitions from these industrial and rail centers into the steep ridges of Vinson Mountain, Paris Mtn, and Everett Mtn. This 1970s record illustrates a rural economy defined by scattered mountain churches and small water bodies like Lake Dorene and Crawford Lake.

Genealogists will find numerous local landmarks such as Noah Chapel, Holly Springs Ch, and New Home Ch, alongside the small community of Hutchings nestled in Morgan Valley. The southern reaches of the map track the winding Tallapoosa River and Mill Creek near the rural hamlet of Beulah, providing a clear look at the intersection of Polk, Paulding, and Haralson counties before modern suburban expansion.
