About this map

Albany is defined by its orientation along the Flint River, serving as a major educational and regional hub in Southwest Georgia. This modern survey details the significant institutional footprint of the city, featuring the campuses of Albany State Univ, Darton State Coll, and Albany Technical Coll. The landscape transitions from the urban grid and industrial sectors near Viola Bend to the distinct natural features of the river basin, including the Fossil Sand Dunes and the prominent Radium Springs area to the south.

Infrastructure like the Southwest Georgia Regional Airport and numerous neighborhood developments around Lake Worth and Lake Loretta illustrate the 21st-century growth patterns of the city. Genealogists can locate several burial grounds, such as Oakview Cem and Riverside Cem, while the road network shows the continued importance of corridors like Philema Rd and Ledo Rd in connecting the city to the surrounding Lee and Dougherty counties.
