2011 Map of Sandy Springs

About this map

Blackjack Mountain rises above a landscape defined by the winding course of the Chattahoochee River and its numerous shoals, including Chochran Shoals and Thornton Shoals. This early 21st-century documentation of the Atlanta northern perimeter captures a suburban transition, where long-standing community hubs like the Marietta Campground and Mount Bethel persist alongside dense residential developments like Indian Hills and Sibley Forest. The reliance on the river for infrastructure is evident at the Morgan Falls Dam and the Morgan Falls Reservoir, while numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Antioch Cemetery and Sardis Cemetery, offer critical touchstones for local genealogists. Major transport arteries like the Johnson Ferry Bridge and the intersection of Interstate 285 and Interstate 75 highlight the region's role as a primary corridor for commerce and movement.
