About this map

Auburn University anchor the western portion of this 2011 survey, showing a landscape where academic expansion meets significant suburban development. The map reveals a dense network of residential subdivisions such as Cary Woods, Tanglewood, and Indian Hills, which are intricately woven around the natural drainage of Moores Mill Creek and Chewacla Creek. The transition from the core university area to the outlying crossroads is marked by numerous small impoundments like Lake Wilmore and Auburn City Lake, highlighting a local reliance on managed water resources for recreation and utility.

Local history is preserved in several burial grounds including the Pine Hill Cemetery and Green Chapel Cemetery, alongside traditional landmarks like Whatley Mill and the Auburn Post Office. This era captures the city's modern road infrastructure, defined by the heavy artery of the interstate and local thoroughfares like Shell-Toomer Pkwy, while still noting rural remnants at Mitchell Crossroads and Wright Crossroads.
