About this map

Carrollton serves as the focal point of this Carroll County survey, showing a landscape where institutional growth and suburban residential clusters meet the natural drainages of the Little Tallapoosa River. The map documents the extensive footprint of the University of West Georgia and the established town center around the Carrollton Post Office. Surrounding the urban core, a network of residential developments such as Holly Heights, Riverbend, and Lamplighter Square illustrates the expansion of the community into the 21st century.

The outlying rural areas are defined by a high density of local history sites, particularly family and church graveyards including the Shiloh Cemetery, Beulah Cemetery, and Carrollton City Cemetery. Water management is prominent throughout the terrain, with numerous small impoundments and dams such as the Lake Carroll Dam, Barnes Lake Dam, and Richards Lake Dam controlling the flow of Buffalo Creek and its tributaries. To the southeast, smaller settlements like Clem and landmarks such as Falcons Aerie Airport mark the transition toward more open country.
