About this map

The Chattahoochee River defines the western edge of this suburban landscape, where the 2014 survey reveals the dense residential and commercial expansion northeast of Atlanta. The area is characterized by numerous small lakes and reservoirs, such as Berkeley Lake, Cardinal Lake, and Mockingbird Lake, which served as anchors for mid-century neighborhood developments like Springdale Estates and Sheffield Forest.

Old family landmarks and transit points persist despite modern growth, including the Jones Bridge Landing and North River Crossing along the river. Genealogists will find several burial grounds preserved among the subdivisions, from the large Peachtree Memorial Cem to smaller sites like Greer Bowen Cem and the Buchannen King Cem. Industrial corridors follow the Peachtree Industrial Blvd NW and the rail lines, connecting established centers like Norcross and Tucker with newer commercial nodes at Oakbrook Station.
