About this map

The Chattahoochee River carves a diagonal path through this 1981 snapshot of the Georgia Piedmont, separating the expanding urban core of Atlanta from the satellite communities of Cobb and Douglas counties. The map records a pivotal era of regional infrastructure, dominated by the massive footprint of the Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport and the completed loop of I-285. This beltway anchors a constellation of burgeoning suburbs like Sandy Springs, Smyrna, and Tucker, while the industrial and military backbone of the era is visible through Dobbins Air Force Base and Fort McPherson Military Reservation.
