About this map

Peachtree City and the surrounding Fayette County landscape are captured during a significant period of residential and infrastructure expansion in the early 1980s. The map illustrates the emerging street patterns and water features that define this planned community, centered around Lake Peachtree and the adjacent Golf Course. To the north, the town of Tyrone sits along the Seaboard Coast Line railroad, surrounded by numerous private lakes and ponds such as Lake Tyrone, Adams Lake, and Farrs Lake.

Rural character remains visible through a network of country churches and family-named landmarks including Sandy Creek Ch, Little Vine Ch, and Ebenezer Ch. The map provides a detailed look at local geography where Line Creek and Flat Creek converge, marking the boundary with Coweta County. Geologists and historians can also identify industrial sites like the Quarry and Sludge Pit near the northern corporate limits, alongside the small settlement of Shake Rag.
