2017 Map of Sandy Springs

About this map

The Chattahoochee River carves a deep boundary between Cobb and Fulton Counties, anchoring a landscape where suburban expansion meets protected riverside terrain. In the late 2010s, this area shows the dense residential growth of Sandy Springs and Marietta, yet it preserves significant family history through numerous small burial grounds like Antioch Cem and Brown Cem. The river's character is defined by several notable shoals, including Chochran Shoals and Devils Race Course Shoals, which contrast with the modern infrastructure of the Johnson Ferry Bridge. Higher elevations such as Blackjack Mtn overlook a complex network of reservoirs and local lakes like Bishop Lake and Thompson Lake, illustrating how the region's topography has been adapted for both utility and recreation within the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area.
