About this map

Sweetwater Creek and its many tributaries, including Noses Creek and Olley Creek, define the landscape of the western Atlanta suburbs during the early 1990s. The map illustrates the convergence of Cobb, Douglas, and Paulding counties, showing the established communities of Austell, Powder Springs, and Lithia Springs as they continued to develop along the corridor of the Southern Railroad. Numerous local landmarks such as Browns Bridge and Hayes Bridge crossed the waterways that once powered the region's early industries.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through the inclusion of numerous small churches and burial grounds, such as Coker-Elliott Cem and Duke Cem. Educational infrastructure is represented by Beulah Sch, Burnett Sch, and Lithia Springs High Sch. The presence of a large Quarry and the Sparks Reservoir highlights the ongoing industrial and resource management needs of this growing metropolitan fringe.
