Johnston's Line Archaeological Site
Johnston's Line Archaeological Site, Civil War fortification site in Mableton, Georgia, United States.
The archaeological site contains defensive structures and earthworks built along the Chattahoochee River during military operations in Cobb County.
General Joseph E. Johnston ordered the construction of this strategic defensive line in 1864 to protect Confederate positions against advancing Union forces.
Archaeological investigations at the site have revealed numerous artifacts including musket balls and military equipment that document soldiers' experiences during the conflict.
The site features interpretative signs and markers that guide visitors through the historical significance of the fortifications and their role in the Atlanta Campaign.
Nine Shoupade forts remain accessible within the preserved 80-acre battlefield, representing the largest intact section of the Chattahoochee River Line.
