1968 Map of Rome South

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Rome serves as the industrial and transport anchor at the northern edge of this landscape, where the Etowah River and Coosa River define the city's geography. The map reveals a post-war pattern of southern development, showing the transition from the urban core to manufacturing centers like Lindale, home to a massive Reservoir and the Pepperell High Sch. Between the ridges of Horseleg Mountain and Walker Mountain, the terrain is marked by the influence of the Southern railroad and several named valleys, including Vans Valley and Pleasant Valley. Local history is preserved in the detailed mapping of communities such as Boozeville and Silver Creek, alongside rural landmarks like the Drive-in Theater at Six Mile and numerous country churches, including Antioch Ch and New Bethel Ch. This late-1960s perspective captures a moment before modern suburbanization fully altered the rural road networks like Old Marion Road and Blacks Bluff Road.
