About this map

Powder Springs and the residential expansion of western Georgia dominate this 2014 survey. The landscape is a dense network of suburban developments such as Steeplechase, Forest Glen, and Burnt Hickory Farms, reflecting the rapid growth at the intersection of Cobb, Douglas, and Paulding Counties. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the location of numerous community burial grounds, including the Powder Springs Memorial Cem and Hill Cem.

Transport corridors like the Southern railroad and the Richard D Sailors Pky SW facilitate the regional movement through this developed corridor. In addition to the town centers, several water features are prominent, such as Sweetwater Creek and George H Sparks Reservoir. The map illustrates the transition from historic railroad stops like Wesley Station and Clarkdale to the contemporary suburban landscape that defines the outskirts of Douglasville.
