About this map

The University of West Georgia campus and the surrounding city of Carrollton anchor this detailed survey of West Georgia's Piedmont landscape. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Little Tallapoosa River and its many tributaries, including Buffalo Creek and Whooping Creek. Rural communities like Clem and Oak Grove are mapped alongside a dense network of country roads such as Tyus Carrollton Road and Old Stagecoach Road.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, ranging from the large Carrollton City Cemetery and Carroll Memory Gardens to smaller community yards like Stripling Chapel Cemetery and Emmaus Cemetery. The map also illustrates the transition from the municipal center to the rising elevations of Oak Mountain, showing a mix of institutional growth, small private airstrips like Falcons Aerie Airport, and numerous small reservoirs including Lake Carroll and Richards Lake.
