USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Chattahoochee River crossings and a dense lattice of early railroads define the Georgia landscape in the late nineteenth century. The urban core of Atlanta is surrounded by a periphery of smaller settlements and junctions such as Decatur, East End, and Dunwoody. This era highlights a transition toward industrialization, visible through landmarks like the Exposition grounds and multiple milling operations including Oakley Mill and Wilson Mill.
