About this map

The Middle Oconee River and North Oconee River converge just east of this area, defining the drainage patterns and historical development of the Athens periphery. This 2011 survey captures the suburban and institutional character of the city's western edge, dominated by the sprawling campus of the University of Georgia and numerous residential neighborhoods such as Oconee Heights and Homewood Hills.

Several water management features are noted throughout the landscape, including Mitchell Dam and Bells Lake Dam Two, alongside recreation sites like the Athens Speedway and Athens Country Club. Local history is preserved in small pockets such as Mars Hill Cemetery and the Robinson Cemetery, which stand alongside newer developments like Evergreen Memorial Park. The map also illustrates the transition from urban centers like the Athens Post Office to more wooded tracts like Daniel Plantation.
