1953 Map of Atlanta
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The Chattahoochee River corridor serves as the primary axis for development on this regional survey, which illustrates the mid-century expansion of Atlanta and its surrounding suburbs like Marietta and Decatur. To the west, the rugged Talladega Mountains and the Talladega National Forest dominate the Alabama side of the state line, providing a stark contrast to the burgeoning metropolitan infrastructure. Significant military installations including Fort McClellan, Dobbins AFB, and Fort McPherson underscore the region's strategic importance during the Cold War era.
