1992 Map of Austell

About this map

Sweetwater Creek and its many tributaries, including Noses Creek and Olley Creek, define the landscape of this suburbanizing corridor in the early 1990s. The map captures a period of significant growth across the intersection of Cobb, Douglas, and Paulding counties. While older residential patterns remain visible near Austell and Powder Springs, newer developments are evident near the Sweetwater Creek State Park and Sparks Reservoir. Local spiritual and communal life is well-documented through numerous landmarks such as Souls Arbor Tabernacle, Praise Tabernacle, and Sunrise Mem Gardens. The transition from rural to residential is underscored by the presence of large institutions like Lithia Sprs High Sch and industrial footprints including a large Quarry. Significant infrastructure like the Radio Towers (WKKP) and the Railroad Grade northwest of Powder Springs provide clear navigational markers for the era.
