About this map

Albany's western suburbs and industrial corridors are documented here, showing the city's growth toward the Southwest Georgia Regional Airport. The landscape is characterized by established residential neighborhoods such as Gailshar Gardens, Sherwood Acres, and Palmyra Heights, which fill the spaces between major thoroughfares like N Westover Blvd and Gillionville Rd. To the east, the Flint River forms a significant geographical boundary, winding past Lake Worth and through Viola Bend, where the terrain transitions toward the city's central core.

Institutional and community landmarks are frequent, including the campuses of Darton Coll and Albany State Univ. Local history and genealogy interest is centered on several significant burial grounds like Crown Hill Cem, Oakview Cem, and Riverside Cem. The map reveals a dense network of suburban development intertwined with water features such as Kinchatoonee Creek and Lake Loretta, reflecting the mid-to-late 20th-century expansion of this regional Georgia hub.
