2014 Map of Jonesboro

About this map

Jonesboro serves as a focal point for this area south of Atlanta, where suburban development meets the historic landscapes of Clayton and Henry counties. The town's heritage is deeply rooted in the soil of the Jonesboro City Cem and the Confederate Cem, marking its significance in nineteenth-century history. Educational growth is anchored by Clayton State University, situated near the Clayton Junior College Lake. The landscape is a network of small residential subdivisions and water features, from Lake Tara and Rock Hill Lake to the drainage of Big Cotton Indian Creek. Traces of older rural life persist in the numerous family and community burial grounds, such as the Mundy Cem and Sylvester Cem, even as names like Forest Park and Stockbridge indicate the expansion of the metropolitan corridor along major transit routes.
