2011 Map of Albany West

About this map

The Flint River corridor and its surrounding suburban growth define this 2011 survey of western Albany. The landscape is heavily marked by institutional and community landmarks, including the sprawling Southwest Georgia Regional Airport and the Herty State Nursery. Water features are prominent throughout the quadrangle, from the large expanse of Lake Worth and the Flint River Dam in the northeast to smaller bodies like Willow Lake and Rawls Pond. The map serves as a valuable resource for local historians and genealogists, clearly labeling several large interment sites such as Crown Hill Cemetery, Riverside Cemetery, and Floral Memory Gardens. Residential development patterns are evident in the dense network of subdivisions including Sherwood Acres, Dawson Heights, and Palmyra Acres, while the eastern edge of the map reveals geological interest with the Fossil Sand Dunes located near the riverbank.
