About this map

Centerville and the expanding western reaches of Warner Robins anchor this mid-1970s survey, capturing the suburban development of Houston County. The landscape is a mix of traditional agricultural land and modernizing infrastructure, evidenced by the presence of the Warner Robins Drag Way and the Houston Vocational Center. Older community foundations remain visible through numerous rural churches and family-named burial sites, including Tharpe Memorial Ch and the Leverett Cem near the Centerville road network.

Water plays a central role in the local geography, with Sandy Run Creek and Mossy Creek draining the land toward notable catchments like Lake Joy and Houston Lake. This era shows a significant shift in land use, where former farmsteads gave way to institutional growth, such as the County Hospital and several new educational facilities like Warner Robins Jr High Sch. The map preserves the transition from the historic PEACH CO HOUSTON CO line settlements to a modern municipal center.
