1973 Map of Villa Rica

About this map

The Southern Railway corridor anchors the northern portion of this Georgia landscape, passing through the established community of Villa Rica. This 1973 survey captures a transition in the rural economy, where traditional landmarks like New Brooklyn Ch and Pleasant Grove Ch remain central to the geography alongside newer infrastructure, including several landing strips and a sewage disposal facility. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of the Tallapoosa River and the Little Tallapoosa River, with numerous smaller streams such as Keaton Creek and Dog River carving through the hills. This map reflects a period of modernization in Carroll Co and Douglas Co, evidenced by the presence of a Villa Rica High Sch and a burgeoning network of local roads including Liberty Road and Shady Grove Road.
