About this map

Jonesboro and the surrounding suburban landscape of Clayton County are shown here, anchored by a dense network of residential development and commercial corridors like Tara Blvd. The area is historically defined by the Norfolk Southern rail line, which runs north through Morrow, Lake City, and Forest Park. This modern survey illustrates the proximity of civic and educational institutions, including Clayton State University and the HR Banke Justice Center.

Cultural and military landmarks remain central to the geography, from the Fort Gillem Enclave Site in the north to the NG Oglethorpe Armory near Ellenwood. For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds are preserved amidst the modern expansion, such as the Confederate Cem and Jonesboro City Cem, alongside smaller sites like the Morrow Cem and The Rock Cem. Numerous small lakes, including Lake Tara and Lake Jodeco, characterize the suburban terrain between the growing centers of Stockbridge and Rex.
