Lab 1: Lake Acworth/Lake Allatoona

This map was constructed using Google Earth. It shows the fastest driving route from my house in Acworth, GA to my church, Acworth United Methodist Church. It also shows the manmade Acworth Beach and manmade Lake Acworth highlighted in blue. Also, there is a short walking path detailed between the beach and my church that traverses a bridge. Finally, the yellowed area is an area of the natural Lake Allatoona that is routinely dried out every year due to the conservation of water and existence of Lake Acworth. The accompanying picture from the USA Today shows this phenomenon, that has led to significant erosion and agricultural problems.
