- Description:
- Peachtree City, Georgia, promotional map with 24 named business locations indicated, such as Hi-Brand Foods, NCR, Westinghouse Electric Corp. (manufacturers of electric golf carts at the time) and many others. "Ryland Model Home Park" is shown south on Highway 74 at Kelly Drive in Clover Reach subdivision, the southernmost housing development on the map. Shown on the south side of the Highway 54 corridor are the city's Information Center (near the medical center) and "Grocery" near the gas station. What later became Peachtree Parkway was then shown as an incomplete "East Lake Parkway." A dark dashed line indicates the western border of Fayette County and of Peachtree City, which follows the natural boundary of Line Creek. Also prominently shown is the large Lake McIntosh with "(Open 1974)" beneath the lake's name. More than half of the lake at that time is shown in Coweta County. Due to a variety of complications, the lake was not completed untl December 2012, approximately 40 years after this map was published.
