About this map

The Chattahoochee River forms the northwestern boundary of this landscape, which transitions from riverfront bottomlands to the residential and suburban reaches of South Fulton. The city of Palmetto serves as the primary hub, where the Palmetto Post Office and nearby Carlton Woods indicate the area's development patterns. Local history is anchored by established sites such as the Cochran Cemetery and the Georgia Baptist Childrens Home, reflecting the long-standing community institutions in this corner of Georgia.

A network of local roads including Cochran Mill Rd and Rivertown Rd connects outlying settlements like Rivertown, Cackle Corner, and Goodes. The drainage of the land is defined by numerous tributaries such as Bear Creek and Pea Creek, along with several engineered water bodies including Goodes Lake and Cedar Grove Lake. This survey illustrates the modern layout of the region, including the South Fulton Airport, while maintaining the names of the small crossroads and family-named landmarks that have historically defined this area.
