About this map

The Chattahoochee River carves a winding path through the center of this Georgia landscape, serving as a natural boundary where Carroll, Coweta, and Heard counties converge. In the north, Whitesburg stands as the primary settlement, its street grid defined by Main St and Railroad St. Further south, the map reveals a rural pattern of development centered around smaller hubs like Yates, Welcome, and Handy.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites and religious centers throughout the quadrangle, from Ephesus Church in the northwest to Providence Cem and Mount Carmel Cem in the south. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Acorn Cr, Wahoo Cr, and Cavender Cr, which feed into the main river valley. Large recreational or private water bodies such as Bridgehaven Lake and McKay Lake punctuate the lower half of the sheet, illustrating how the modern landscape has been shaped by both agriculture and residential growth.
