The Coweta County Georgia map frames a place where metropolitan Atlanta’s southwestward expansion meets the farms, forests, and river valleys of the Piedmont. It labels Newnan, Senoia, Grantville, Moreland, Turin, and Haralson inside the county line. With Newnan as the central reference, the I-85 development corridor and the smaller southern communities become easier to distinguish spatially.
The U.S. Census Bureau estimated 160,240 residents on July 1, 2025. Population rose from 127,317 in 2010 to 146,158 in 2020, then increased another 9.6 percent from the 2020 estimates base to 2025. The pace of growth makes road orientation and settlement pattern more informative than a county outline by itself.

Population density climbed from 288.8 people per square mile in 2010 to 331.4 in 2020. The federal county code is 13077. These are countywide measures; they smooth over the sharp contrast between Newnan and the I-85 interchanges on one hand and the less densely settled west and south on the other.
What the Map Shows
Newnan occupies the central position as county seat and principal service center. Senoia lies to the east, Turin and Haralson to the southeast, Moreland to the south, and Grantville to the southwest. The six labels therefore form several branches around Newnan rather than a single line of towns.
Interstate 85 runs from the Grantville side through Newnan toward metropolitan Atlanta. U.S. 29 roughly follows the older rail-and-town corridor, Georgia 34 links Newnan with the Peachtree City side of the county, and Georgia 16 crosses from the Chattahoochee River through Newnan to Senoia. Together they explain why development intensity changes by direction.
The labels are selected places, not a complete municipal inventory. Sharpsburg, the Coweta portion of Palmetto, and unincorporated communities such as Sargent, Thomas Crossroads, and Raymond require a more detailed source. Street addresses, city limits, parcels, school zones, zoning, and flood hazards belong to specialized GIS layers rather than this downloadable image.
County Layout and Location
Coweta County is part of Georgia’s Piedmont and the southwest side of metropolitan Atlanta. Its neighbors are Fulton to the northeast, Fayette to the east, Spalding to the southeast, Meriwether to the south, Troup to the southwest, Heard to the west, and Carroll to the northwest. That position places the county between Atlanta-facing growth and the Middle Chattahoochee countryside.
A watershed divide adds a second geography. The eastern portion generally drains through the Upper Flint subbasin, while the west belongs to the Middle Chattahoochee–Lake Harding subbasin. Wahoo and Cedar creeks carry water toward the Chattahoochee side; the Line Creek and Whitewater Creek systems on the east connect with the upper Flint drainage.
The Chattahoochee River anchors the western edge. Chattahoochee Bend State Park occupies 2,910 acres on a peninsula created by a broad river bend, and about seven river miles run within the park. Downstream, the river enters the headwaters of West Point Lake, tying Coweta’s western streams to a federally managed reservoir system.
Rolling uplands and exposed granite identify the Piedmont setting. The Flat Rock Trail at Chattahoochee Bend crosses a granite outcrop and pine-oak forest, while creek bottoms and river margins are vulnerable to changing water levels after heavy rain. County floodplain guidance specifically notes hazards in low areas adjacent to streams, creeks, and rivers.
Local Context
Coweta County was created in 1826 and took its name from the Coweta people, part of the Muscogee world associated with this region. Newnan became the seat in 1828 and was named for General Daniel Newnan. The neoclassical courthouse completed in 1904 still fixes the governmental center in the middle of historic Newnan.
The Atlanta and West Point Railroad reached the area in the 1850s, strengthening Newnan’s role in cotton trade and manufacturing. During the Civil War, its rail access and distance from the heaviest fighting led to its use as a hospital city; the Battle of Brown’s Mill occurred south of town in 1864. Textile mills and R. D. Cole Manufacturing later broadened the industrial economy.
Modern growth is closely linked to I-85 and the outward reach of the Atlanta region. The average commute was 29.8 minutes in 2020–2024. In 2023, the Census Bureau counted 3,020 employer establishments and 41,689 jobs, reflecting a local base in health care, retail, manufacturing, and services alongside travel to jobs elsewhere in the region.
Senoia’s preserved townscape has supported film and television production, while Newnan has hosted long-running Yamaha manufacturing operations. These activities occupy different parts of the map: screen production and visitor traffic reinforce the east-side small-town economy, while manufacturing and logistics favor highway access around Newnan.
Agriculture remains visible despite suburbanization. The 2022 Census of Agriculture reported 324 farms and 53,189 farm acres, with $15.141 million in products sold. Crops supplied 82 percent of sales; nursery, greenhouse, floriculture, and sod alone generated $8.757 million. The inventory also included 1,037 horses and ponies, while forage occupied 9,970 acres.
Ways to Use This Map
- Compare the directions of Senoia, Grantville, Moreland, Turin, and Haralson from Newnan
- Trace growth along I-85, U.S. 29, Georgia 34, and Georgia 16
- Separate Middle Chattahoochee drainage from Upper Flint drainage
- Compare population growth, land use, and agriculture with planning records
A strong local report can proceed in layers: first place the neighboring counties and six labels, then add the interstate and east–west state routes, and finally compare watershed and demographic evidence. Dividing the Atlanta-facing northeast from the western and southern countryside prevents county averages from becoming the whole story.
Property or field research needs additional tools. Coweta County’s GIS hub carries address, parcel, zoning, development-project, water-line, and sewer information. Current FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps and county floodplain records are the appropriate sources for site-specific flood questions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where are the labeled communities relative to Newnan?
Senoia is east, Turin and Haralson are southeast, Moreland is south, and Grantville is southwest of Newnan. Because Sharpsburg, Palmetto, and other places are not labeled, the six names should not be treated as a complete list.
Does all of Coweta County drain to the Chattahoochee River?
No. Western Coweta primarily drains toward the Chattahoochee, while the eastern portion belongs to the upper Flint system. Both are parts of the larger Apalachicola–Chattahoochee–Flint basin, but their local flow directions differ.
Can the JPG establish zoning, buildability, or flood risk?
No. It is an orientation image for the county and selected places, not a legal survey, zoning decision map, or Flood Insurance Rate Map. Check the latest parcel-specific layers and agency records before making a site decision.
