As there are allusions made every day to its local geography, a minute description of it will be in place here. The county of Fulton, of which Atlanta is the centre, is bounded on its entire northwest face by the Chattahoochee river. This stream rises in the Black Mountains spur of the Blue Ridge, in Habersham county, and not far from where, in the same county, by the junction of the Tallulah and Chattooga creeks the Savannah is formed. Flowing southwest, for a distance of one hundred and fifty miles, it strikes the Alabama line south of the thirty-third parallel, and from thence runs almost due south, dividing the States of Alabama and Georgia, and finally empties into Apalachicola river and the Gulf of Mexico. Seven miles north of Atlanta is the Chattahoochee bridge, where the Western and A

It is one hundred and thirty-eight miles from Atlanta to Chattanooga; one hundred and seventy one from Atlanta to Augusta; eighty-four to West Point, one hundred and sixty-eight to Montgomery, and one hundred and ten from Atlanta to Macon. East Point is six miles west off the west Point road. The Macon and Western and the Atlanta and West Point Railroads form a junction at East Point, but trains of either company run into the heart of the city. At one place Peachtree creek runs within five miles of the city. At last accounts the enemy were all along this insignificant little branch. Fulton county is bounded on the east by DeKalb, on the south by Fayette, on the west by Campbell, and on the north by Cobb counties.--It is oddly shaped, for whilst its extreme length from north to south is thirty miles, its width from east to west is only ten. It is drained by the Chattahoochee and Peachtree creek on the north, and another little creek in the southwest

Whitehall (New York, United States) (search for this): article 9
There are four railroads terminating in Atlanta — the Georgia Railroad, Western and Atlantic, the Macon and Western, and the Atlantic and West Point. The first one of these — the Georgia — was completed about 1828, and then terminated at Whitehall, a small country tavern near the centre of Fulton county. Commencing at Augusta, it ran in a northwest direction to that point. Then the Macon and Western Railroad was constructed from this city to Whitehall, and soon after the village of Whitehall was named the town of Atlanta. The West Point road was the next constructed, running to the Chattahoochee river, on the western boundary of the State. The Western and Atlantic, running northwest to Chattanooga, Tennessee, followed.

into the Chattahoochee from the east. A little creek called Nance's runs into Peachtree just above the mouth of the latter. Farther up the Chattahoochee, and sixteen miles northeast of Atlanta, on its northern bank, and in Cobb county, is the little town of Roswell, which at present is the base of the left wing of Sherman's army.--This town is due east of Marietta. Decatur is a town, or rather the first depot on the Georgia Railroad, four miles from Atlanta and sixteen from Roswell. Stone Mountain is an inhibited, barren peak, several hundred feet in height, and perhaps two miles around the base, abruptly rising from the plain like one of the Pyramids of Egypt, ten miles from Decatur and sixteen miles from Atlanta. It can be seen from a long distance off, and from its summit a grand view of the country can be obtained. There is a not a tree or a shrub upon it, but presents nothing to view but rocks and rocky cliffs. It is supposed that Logan's corps of Sherman's army has now po

Seven miles north of Atlanta is the Chattahoochee bridge, where the Western and Atlantic Railroad crosses the river. This bridge has been destroyed by the Confederates, and is again being constructed by the Yankees. A few hundred yards above this bridge Peachtree creek comes into the Chattahooc
