2017 Map of Birmingham

About this map

Birmingham and the northern reaches of Milton anchor this landscape where the boundaries of Cherokee, Forsyth, and Fulton counties converge. This 2017 study illustrates a region defined by established rural crossroads and a dense network of water features, notably the Little River and numerous private impoundments such as Statham Lake and Stephens Lake. The map reveals a complex subdivision of land that preserves several family-named landmarks and historical sites. Genealogists will find the locations of Smith Cem, Stevens Cem, and Phillips Cem particularly useful for tracing local lineages. The settlement patterns at Free Home and Holbrook show the continued importance of historical junctions as the area integrates modern residential developments like those near Bell Lake and Seagraves Lake.
