Landsat 1 Atlanta Metropolitan Region.
This false-color satellite view of metro Atlanta was created using green wavelength measurements from Landsat data, specifically processed to emphasize the contrast between urban areas (dark blue) and forested/rural regions (white). The image highlights Atlanta's extensive network of suburbs and exurbs that have developed along highways radiating from the downtown core.
