1958 Map of Atlanta
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
The Atlanta metropolitan area and the Piedmont region of Georgia and Alabama are captured here during the mid-century period of post-war expansion. The map details a landscape transitioning from rural woodlands to a growing urban network, anchored by the burgeoning suburban centers of Decatur, Marietta, and East Point. To the west, the heavy timber of the Talladega National Forest and the ridges of Dugdown Mountain provide a sharp contrast to the industrial corridors of Anniston and Gadsden. A sophisticated transportation web of the era is visible, featuring major rail lines like the Seaboard Air Line and the Southern railroad. Significant federal and military installations, including Dobbins AFB and Fort McClellan, highlight the strategic regional importance of the corridor between the Chattahoochee River and the Alabama state line.
