Thrillist has created a Walking Dead map. The map details 13 of the best shooting locations to visit in Atlanta and where they are located in the state. The Walking Dead is a highly acclaimed and award-winning Zombie-themed TV drama based on a series of graphic novels. The show is shot in and around Atlanta and features a rundown post-apocalyptic setting.
This Walking Dead map is great for fans of the show who want to take a vacation and get looks at the buildings, landmarks and sites used in their favorite TV show. Sites on the map include a burnt out building where a high stakes confrontation occurred between the villainous Governer and Rick, the house where the series begins and the path of Rick's horseback ride into the city.
