About this map

Warner Robins expands westward toward the Peach Co Houston Co line in this mid-1970s survey, revealing a landscape transitioning from rural agricultural tracts to organized suburban development. The residential grid of the city is anchored by educational and medical hubs like the Houston Vocational Center and the County Hospital, while local entertainment is found at the Warner Robins Drag Way and the Warner Robins Airpark.

A complex network of waterways, including Sandy Run, Mossy Creek, and the Beulah Branch, feeds into larger bodies such as Lake Joy and Houston Lake. These drainage patterns shaped the placement of older landmarks, including Smithville Ch and several family burial grounds like Leverett Cem and Smith Cem. The survey documents the area just as Interstate 75 was cementing its role as the primary north-south corridor, bypassing established settlements like Centerville.
