About this map

The Dog River and its numerous tributaries, including Mobley Creek and Yellow Rock Creek, dominate this rural Douglas County landscape during the early 1970s. The community of Bill Arp serves as a central point south of the Interstate 20 construction corridor, which is shown in progress across the northern half of the sheet. This era was one of transition, as new infrastructure began to bypass older established nodes like Winston and White City.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense network of community centers, particularly churches such as Old Mtn Top Ch, New Mtn Top Ch, and Prays Mill Ch. Significant historical industry is evidenced by Fouts Mill on Bear Creek and a Quarry near the Southern railway line. From the heights of Andy Mtn to the southern boundary formed by the Chattahoochee River, the map captures the rural character of the region before significant suburban expansion reached this far west of Atlanta.
