About this map

Palmetto and Union City anchor this 2017 survey of the borderlands between Fulton and Coweta counties. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of creeks such as Pea Cr, Bear Cr, and Little Pea Cr, which feed numerous small reservoirs including Horsehead Lake, Telephone Lake, and Redding Lake. For genealogists, the map preserves the location of Cochran Cem and historical communities like Rivertown and Goodes, providing a detailed look at the suburban-rural transition in the metropolitan Atlanta periphery.

Industrial activity is noted by the distinct Dirty Sheets Gravel Loop, while the residential expansion of Chattahoochee Hills is evidenced by a dense grid of modern street names and developments like Oaks at Cedar Grove. The drainage patterns of Persimmon Cr and Hicks Br Shoal Cr in the south reveal the underlying topography that shaped early road placements, many of which follow the winding courses of these water bodies.
