About this map

The Chattahoochee River forms a significant natural boundary through this landscape, separating Carroll and Coweta counties. The town of Whitesburg sits at a historic crossroads in the north, served by the Norfolk Southern rail line. This corridor reflects a deep-rooted rural settlement pattern, where small communities like Handy, Yates, and Welcome are anchored by numerous family and church burial grounds. Notable sites include Ephesus Cem, New Lebanon Cem, and the Providence Baptist Church Cem.

Agricultural and natural features dominate the terrain, from Mcintosh Field along the riverbanks to the high vantage point at Wahoo Overlook. The presence of labels like New Ferry points to the area's history of river crossings before modern infrastructure. Numerous small waterways, including Wahoo Creek and Acorn Creek, feed into the main river channel, defining the local geography and historical land use.
