About this map

The Chattahoochee River carves a serpentine path through this 1960s landscape, marking the natural boundary between Carroll and Coweta counties. The settlement of Whitesburg sits at the northern edge, served by the Central of Georgia railroad. Just to the southeast, the industrial footprint of the Yates area is visible, including a Powerplant, Conveyor, and associated Sludge Pit.

The map reveals a network of country churches and community centers that defined local life, such as New Lebanon Ch, Shady Grove Ch, and Ephesus Ch. Education is anchored at the Western High Sch near the Welcome community. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous watercourses, including Wahoo Creek and Acorn Creek, with the rural character further evidenced by family-named landmarks like the Springer Cem and Vine Cem.
