About this map

Jonesboro and the expanding southern suburbs of Atlanta are shown here in modern detail, illustrating a landscape where residential growth meets institutional and natural landmarks. The map traces the corridor between Forest Park and Stockbridge, highlighting the complex hydrology of the South Piedmont, including the sprawling waters of Lake Jodeco, Lake Tara, and the course of Big Cotton Indian Cr. For the local historian, the map identifies several significant burial grounds, from the Confederate Cem and Jonesboro City Cem to the smaller The Rock Cem near Rex.

Educational and commercial hubs are prominent, with Clayton State University and Southlake Mall anchoring the developed areas. The map also reveals the transition from dense street grids in Lake City to the wooded residential developments surrounding Botanical Bend and Drakes Landing Lake. Infrastructure like Forest Pkwy and Jonesboro Rd links these established communities, while Fort Gillem stands at the northern boundary of this survey.
