1965 Map of Senoia

About this map

Senoia and the southern edge of Peachtree City anchor this mid-1960s landscape, which was updated in the early 1980s to reflect suburban expansion along the Fayette Co Coweta Co line. The map illustrates a rural society in transition, where traditional land use patterns like the grain processing at Starrs Mill on Whitewater Creek exist alongside emerging infrastructure like Falcon Field and a growing network of paved roads. A series of small reservoirs and private lakes, including Marimac Lakes and Peoples Lakes, dot the drainage basins of Line Creek and Keg Creek. For the local historian, the map preserves the exact locations of several country congregations and burial grounds, such as Holly Grove Ch, Neriah Cem, and the Hartford Ch site. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts a diagonal path through the terrain, serving as a primary corridor for the era's commerce between these developing Georgia communities.
