Albany GA 1974
Map by Dolph Map Co. Published for the Albany Chamber of Commerce. Albany is the county seat of Dougherty County, Georgia; on a few occasions referenda were held to merge the city and county into a single, consolidated city. Several other cities in Georgia - Athens, Augusta, Georgetown, Macon, Columbus and a handful of others are consolidated city-counties, but Albany is not yet among them. For several years in the 1970s, an Interstate 175 was planned to run from Albany to Cordele, where it would connect to Interstate 75. 1970s financial and economic crises caused those proposals to be cancelled, and they have not been revived.
