2011 Map of Birmingham

About this map

The settlement of Birmingham and the surrounding rural communities of northern Georgia are captured here in a period of transition toward residential development. This landscape in the city of Milton is defined by its complex network of waterways, where the Little River is fed by numerous tributaries including Canton Creek, Mill Creek, and Chicken Creek. The map reveals an area where traditional landmarks like the Smith Cemetery, Stevens Cemetery, and Phillips Cemetery sit alongside modern recreational footprints such as the Atlanta National Golf Course. Numerous private water bodies and dams, including Statham Lake and Almond Lake, punctuate the terrain, reflecting the modification of the watershed for local land use. Established crossroads like Free Home, Lathemtown, and Holbrook maintain their identities amidst emerging neighborhoods such as Henderson Heights and Tullamore.
