1973 Map of Winston

About this map

Winston and Bill Arp anchor this topographic study of Douglas County during a period of shifting infrastructure and suburban growth. The Southern Railway corridors and historical roads like Kings Highway define the transit patterns between the established town centers and the Chattahoochee River to the southeast. Local life is centered around a network of country churches and schools, including Winston Sch, Old Mtn Top Ch, and New Bethel Ch. The landscape is deeply etched by a complex drainage system where Mobley Creek and Cedar Creek feed into the Dog River. Evidence of early industrial and communal activity persists in names like Foots Mill and the Quarry near Douglasville, while newer features like the Water Tank and several pipelines signal the modernization of the Georgia Piedmont.
