2017 Map of Austell

About this map

Powder Springs and Austell anchor this survey of the western Atlanta suburbs, documenting a landscape where historic town centers meet modern residential expansion. The map detail highlights numerous family-named burial sites such as Crocker-Elliott Cem, Duke Cem, and the Perkerson Cem, which serve as vital markers of the area's early landowning families. The transition from rural to suburban is evident in the network of local roads that now surround older landmarks like Browns Bridge and Stansil Bridge. Water features like Sweetwater Creek and Noses Cr cut through the terrain, with several man-made impoundments such as Greystone Lake and Penns Lake reflecting the post-war development of the region. Educational and religious heritage is also represented, from the Life Sch of Theology to several local cemeteries including Pleasant Hill Cem and McKenney Cem.
