About this map

La Grange serves as the central hub of this West Georgia landscape, showing a dense network of residential developments and industrial infrastructure in the early 21st century. The map illustrates the significant impact of water management on the area, with the expansive West Point Lake dominating the northwest and several smaller impoundments like Callaway Lake and Newmans Pond scattered throughout. The presence of numerous planned communities, such as Sturbridge, Waterford Place, and Sassafrass Hills, reflects the suburban expansion moving outward from the city center towards the shoreline.

Genealogists and local researchers will find value in the many well-documented burial grounds, including Shadowlawn Cemetery, Hillview Cemetery, and East View Cemetery near the town center, as well as rural sites like Moody Cemetery. Transportation and utility infrastructure are prominent, featuring the La Grange Waterworks, Richards Airport, and Callaway Airport. The terrain is drained by a system of winding waterways including Oséligee Creek and Jackson Creek, which navigate the varying elevations surrounding the city.
