What about Stone Mountain, just east of Atlanta, Ga.? The position is off a little bit, but there are quite a few references to "Atlanta"...
Stone Mountain
Centered at latitude 33° 48' 21'' N longitude 84° 8' 44'' W
How big is the mountain?
The mountain covers 583 acres or 25 million square feet of exposed
granite. It is 1,683 feet above sea level and rises 825 feet above the
surrounding area.

Ever since I downloaded it from the Internet "To the Moon and
Back" has been causing me grief, in terms of figuring out where something is.
According to the book, Stones Hill is "situated eighteen hundred
feet above the level of the sea, in 27~at~ 7' N. lat. and 5@ 7' W. long. of the
meridianof Washington"
Now, this would suggest that it is located at 27° 7' North and as
Washingtonis located at 77° 1' 48" West, that would place it at
84° 8' 48" West of the Greenwich Meridian.
I then logged into the Geochache website, and placed the above GPS
locationand asked members if they could take a picture of the
location, expecting a flood of photos. No photos arrived, but instead this did:
"It's in the water"
Looking at a map I did indeed note that he was correct.
So my question is "Was there ever an island at 27° 7' North
Latitude and 84° 8' 48" West Longitude and if so what happened to it?"
