2014 Map of Birmingham

About this map

Birmingham and Holbrook serve as central points for this rural and suburbanizing landscape north of the Atlanta metro area. The map illustrates a transition between established agricultural settlements like Lathemtown and Free Home and newer residential developments such as North Valley, Henderson Heights, and Country Ridge. The northern reaches are defined by a network of waterways including Smithwick Cr and Cotton Creek, while the presence of family burial sites like Smith Cem and Phillips Cem offers critical markers for genealogical research. The region's transport network is anchored by Ga-372 and Ga-20, which facilitate movement between the county lines of Cherokee, Forsyth, and Fulton. A high density of private lakes, such as Statham Lake and Michael Lake, indicates the conversion of the historical watershed into recreational and residential land use.
