1954 Map of Bolton

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Chattahoochee River carves a deep valley between Cobb and Fulton counties, serving as a boundary for the rapidly expanding neighborhoods of northwest Atlanta. In the mid-1950s, the landscape shows a dense intersection of heavy rail and emerging residential blocks, notably around the massive Inman Yard and Bellwood Yard rail facilities. Educational landmarks are prominent throughout, from the Georgia Institute of Technology campus to historic institutions like Morris Brown College and Atlanta University. Large-scale industrial features like Brick Kilns near Riverside sit adjacent to established community centers such as Center Hill and Grove Park. The map documents a period of significant suburban infill between the river and the city core, where older settlements like Bolton and Vinings are increasingly integrated into the metropolitan grid.
