2017 Map of Fairburn

About this map

Union City and Fairburn anchor this 2017 survey of the southwest Atlanta metro corridor, where suburban development meets the historical landscape of Fulton and Fayette Counties. The area is densely patterned with neighborhood reservoirs and larger water bodies like Lake Feldwood and Lake Frances, reflecting the residential expansion that has transformed the terrain since the mid-twentieth century. Amidst the modern street grids of College Park and Tyrone, legacy features remain visible, including several family and community burial grounds such as Forest Lawn Cem and Peters Cem. Small airfield operations like Smith Field and Beck Field punctuate the landscape, while the southern reach of the map preserves older site names like Lees Mill, documenting the long-standing water-powered and agricultural history that preceded the modern transit networks of the South Fulton Parkway.
