1973 Map of Temple

About this map

The Southern Railway corridor anchors this western Georgia landscape, passing through the growing towns of Temple and Bremen during the early 1970s. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of the Little Tallapoosa River, which feeds into the larger Little Tallapoosa Lake in the east. Local history is deeply embedded in the rural road network, where names like Center Point Road and Hogliver Road connect scattered community centers such as Abilene and Hickory Level. A significant number of country churches and school sites, including Miller Academy and Little Vine Ch, indicate a well-established social fabric in the rural areas surrounding the municipal centers. Industrial development and infrastructure are visible through the network of pipelines and facilities like the Sewage Disposal Pond and Substation, marking the transition from a purely agricultural region to one supporting broader regional utilities.
