About this map

Auburn University at Montgomery serves as a prominent anchor for the northern suburban expansion of Montgomery in this modern survey. The landscape is defined by the transition from established neighborhoods like Carol Villa and Rosemary to the sprawling estates of Bellwood Plantation and Eastwood Farms. This area preserves several historic family burial grounds, including Larkin Cemetery and Cherry Hill Cemetery, which stand in contrast to the rapid development of shopping districts and residential corridors along Atlanta Hwy.

Water management is a central feature of the terrain, visible through a network of dams and small reservoirs such as Lake Lecroy and Herman Gibson Lake. To the south, the pace of development slows as the suburbs yield to the rural landscapes of Barachias and Perrys Mill. These southern reaches are bisected by Catoma Creek and Little Catoma Creek, providing a look at the drainage patterns that shaped the county's early settlement before the modern infrastructure of University Dr and Taylor Rd transformed the region.
