1973 Map of Warner Robins SW

About this map

The expanding residential and commercial footprints of Warner Robins and Centerville dominate this mid-1970s landscape, illustrating a period of rapid suburban growth in Houston County. Institutional development is prominent, with the Houston Vocational Center, Warner Robins Jr High School, and the County Hospital serving the growing population. Beyond the urbanized areas, the geography is defined by a network of creeks and small drainages, including Sandy Run Creek, Beulah Branch, and Mossy Creek, many of which feed into local landmarks like Lake Joy and Houston Lake. This era shows a distinctive mix of recreation and specialized infrastructure, featuring both the Golf Course and the Warner Robins Drag Way, reflecting the car-centric culture of the time. Local history and genealogy are anchored by established congregations such as Andrews Chapel and Mt Zion Church, alongside family resting places like Leverett Cemetery.
