1967 Map of Rome North

About this map

The confluence of the Oostanaula River and the Etowah River forms the Coosa River here at Rome, creating a historic river-valley hub that serves as the centerpiece of this mid-century survey. The urban expansion of the late 1960s is evident in the detailed street grids and the sprawling campus of Berry College and Berry Academy to the north. Institutional landmarks such as Battey State Hospital and Shorter College anchor the community, while the Southern Railway and Central of Georgia Railroad reflect the city's enduring role as a regional transportation and industrial node.
