About this map

The Chattahoochee River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Carroll, Coweta, and Heard counties, defining the rural character of this Georgia landscape. Near the river's bend, the town of Whitesburg serves as a local hub, while smaller communities like Yates and Welcome sit further out among a network of family-named roads and rolling terrain. The map is particularly notable for its density of burial sites, reflecting generations of local family history at Whitesburg Cem, Ephesus Cem, and the New Lebanon Cem.

Aviation and agriculture coexist at McIntosh Field Airport, situated on a plateau above the river valley. The landscape is deeply etched by a complex drainage system including Wahoo Cr, Acorn Cr, and Turkey Cr, which feed into larger reservoirs such as Kimbrough Lake and Bridgehaven Lake. This network of creeks and named roads like Shoemake Rd and Glover Pond Rd provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure in the early 21st century.
