About this map

Alpharetta and Roswell anchor this northern Georgia landscape, showing a dense network of suburban development and civic infrastructure at the start of the 2010s. The map captures a transition from older settlement patterns, evidenced by family and community landmarks like the Lebanon Cemetery and Crabapple Baptist Cemetery, to modern commercial and educational hubs such as the Strayer University Roswell Campus.

Hydrography plays a central role in the geography, with the Chattahoochee River forming the southern boundary and numerous tributaries like Big Creek and Foe Killer Creek carved into the terrain. A series of engineered lakes and dams, including Lake Arvida and Copeland Lake, demonstrate how the local topography has been managed for recreation and residential planning. Historic crossroads such as Fields Crossroads and Crabapple remain visible even as newer neighborhoods like Sterling Heights and Wedgewood Forest fill the gaps between the growing city centers.
