Atlanta is a small place in Columbia County, Arkansas, in the United States. It is known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and businesses that don't have their own local government, like a city or town. Instead, it's governed by the county.

Atlanta sits about 262 feet (or 80 meters) above sea level. This elevation means it's not too high up, but it's also not right at sea level.

Highway 98 is an important road that goes through Atlanta. It passes south through the community. After leaving Atlanta, the highway turns west towards a place called Emerson. Roads like this help people travel and connect different communities.

Atlanta has another interesting name: "Doolyville." This nickname came about because a large family named Dooly lives there. Sometimes, small communities get nicknames based on local families or unique features.
