About this map

Chattahoochee River frontage and a series of residential developments define the landscape southwest of Atlanta on this 2011 survey. The map details the transition from established neighborhoods like Ben Hill and Cliftondale to suburban forest enclaves including Sherbrook Forest and Canaan Woods. Local landmarks of social and historical importance appear across the sheet, such as the Sandtown Community House and Saint Josephs Orphanage.

Water management is a central theme, evidenced by numerous private and municipal impoundments. The City of East Point Reservoir sits near the center, while several smaller dams such as Bales Lake Dam and Demooney Lake Dam regulate the tributaries of Camp Creek and Utoy Creek. For those researching local genealogy, the Bethel Cemetery and the Ben Hill Station Atlanta Post Office provide specific points of geographic reference for twentieth-century family history.
