The River Line Historic Area embraces historical resources to unite the community and form a cultural identity important for recognition, marketing, and a positive influence on property values. The remains of Johnston's River Line Civil War earthworks and complementing Federal earthworks are the most prevalent historical resources in Southeast Cobb County located along Nickajack Creek and the Chattahoochee River. Significant county land holdings are located in or near the area, including Nickajack Park; nearly 25 acres of parkland at Henderson Road and Veterans Memorial Highway; and over 100 acres along the Chattachoochee River at Nickajack Creek.
The River Line Historic Area runs along the Chattachoochee from Vinings to Mableton Parkway, and eastward in Mableton to include Oakdale Road, Buckner Road and parts of Queen Mill Road. Advocates for preservation of this area have worked hard to achieve recognition for this unique area. The River Line Historic Area logo appears on street signs in the area and some new residential developments use appropriate historical names.
In 2007, The River Line Historic Area Committee and MIC joined together and obtained funding for master plan projects. Click on the link below for additional information about these efforts.
MIC believes appropriate redevelopment along the Chattahoochee River, an extension of the Silver Comet Trail, the future Nickajack Creek walking trail, and historic passive parks will define a distinct character for the area. Residents will benefit from these amenities and visitors will appreciate the historical and tourist opportunities.
