About this map

The Middle Oconee River and North Oconee River define the suburban and residential growth of western Athens in this 2014 survey. This map documents a landscape of established neighborhoods and residential developments such as Park View Homes, Westgate Park, and Broadacres Homes, alongside significant local cemeteries including Evergreen Memorial Park and Mars Hill Cem.

Interpreting the water and transport patterns reveals the influence of the river systems on the local geography, with numerous small impoundments like Athens Country Club Lake and Lake Wildwood dotting the landscape. The convergence of McNutt Creek and Barber Cr highlights the intricate drainage basin that has shaped the area's topography. Notable community landmarks such as Rebel Hill and various residential heights like Oconee Heights and Bel-Air Heights suggest the mid-to-late 20th-century expansion of the city's western footprint into the former agricultural lands of Clarke and Oconee Counties.
