1967 Map of Trion

About this map

The Central of Georgia railroad corridor anchors this mid-century view of Trion, where the river and rail infrastructure supported a growing community near the Chattahoochee National Forest. This mapping era records the landscape just as suburban developments like the Shopping Center and Drive-in Theater began to appear alongside older landmarks like the County Home. The terrain is defined by the prominent Shinbone Ridge and Taylor Ridge, which channel the Chattooga River and its numerous tributaries. For genealogists, the map is particularly dense with rural religious and burial sites, including Trinity Ch, St Peters Chapel Ch, and the Howell Cem. Settlement patterns follow the historical transit routes, visible in the clusters at Welcome Hill and Pennville, while local industry is noted through scattered Gravel Pits and a Claypit.
