This is a quartz monzonite dome monadnock in the center of Stone Mountain Park, 26 km east of Atlanta. The park is the most visited tourist site in Georgia.
The park is owned by the state and is currently managed by Herschend Family Entertainment. At its summit, the elevation is 514 m above sea level and 251 m above the surrounding area. Stone Mountain is known for its geology and the rock relief on its north face, the world's largest bas-relief artwork. The carving, completed in 1972, depicts 3 Confederate leaders: Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, & Stonewall Jackson.
