1953 Map of Atlanta

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Atlanta dominates the northeast quadrant of this mid-century regional study, showing the city's expansion through East Point, Hapeville, and Decatur before the full development of the interstate system. The industrial and military corridor stretching west into Alabama is anchored by Anniston and the extensive Fort McClellan Military Reservation, alongside the Anniston Ordnance Depot. The landscape transitions from the metropolitan sprawl near Stone Mountain to the protected woodlands of the Talladega National Forest.
