1992 Map of Austell

About this map

Sweetwater Creek and its many tributaries, including Noses Creek and Olley Creek, define the landscape of the western Atlanta suburbs during the early 1990s. The map illustrates the convergence of Cobb, Douglas, and Paulding counties, showing the established communities of Austell, Powder Springs, and Lithia Springs as they continued to develop along the corridor of the Southern Railroad. Numerous local landmarks such as Browns Bridge and Hayes Bridge crossed the waterways that once powered the region's early industries.
