About this map

The Auburn Univ Main Campus and the neighboring city of Opelika anchor this 2014 landscape, which balances dense academic and residential development with the riparian corridors of Lee County. The map documents the intricate growth of residential enclaves such as Shelton Woods, Forestdale, and Tanglewood, illustrating how the suburban footprint has expanded around the Interstate 85 corridor. To the south, the terrain transitions into a more hydrologically complex area centered on Chewacla State Park Lake and the winding Chewacla Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant burial grounds, including Pine Hill Cem and Garden Hill Cem, alongside older junction points like Union Crossroads and Wright Crossroads. The presence of Auburn University Regional Airport and Auburn City Lake highlights the infrastructure required for the region's university-driven economy. Smaller water bodies like Sougahatchee Lake and Lake Wilmore define the northern and central drainage patterns, while major highways like Us-280 and Al-147 connect these educational and residential hubs.
