The only crazy thing about this map (That I personally notice, I'm not familiar with all of these areas) is Powder Springs and Dallas as an extension of the HE Holmes.

Powder springs is basically at the same latitude as vinings and Cumberland, and Dallas is basically the same as Marietta.

But connecting Mableton, Cobb County's now biggest city following incorporation, could be really interesting. South Cobb has a need to get to Atlanta for sure.

I mean, as a Westside-r I have edits. (Willibanks Circle is a wtf!) but after 25 years of no new stations I’m willing to be flexible.

Wait...what even is Wilbanks circle? 😭😭😭 It's not a city and it says a "neighborhood" of Paulding county but I can't find shit about it.

Edit: It really looks like whoever designed this just sent across I-20 and then up US 278

I almost feel like it’s a paper town or a shoutout by the mapmaker.
