About this map

The Chattahoochee River winds through this terrain, marking the boundary between Carroll and Coweta counties as it flows past the industrial and residential centers of the mid-1960s. The town of Whitesburg stands as a primary hub, while to the southeast, the Yates settlement is defined by energy and industry, featuring a large Powerplant, Conveyor, and associated Sludge Pit. This industrial footprint contrasts with the surrounding rural landscape, which is dotted with numerous country churches and family-named landmarks that anchor the local community.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites such as Springer Cem and Vine Cem, along with social centers like Ephesus Ch and Western High Sch. Transportation is dictated by the Central Of Georgia railroad line and the winding paths of Thomas Creek and Wahoo Creek. Small rural crossroads like Welcome and Handy illustrate the dispersed settlement pattern that persisted even as utility infrastructure, including several Pipeline corridors, began to cross the countryside.
