About this map

Chamblee and Doraville anchor the southern portion of this landscape, characterized by the dense suburban growth and industrial infrastructure of the early 21st century. The northern boundary is defined by the winding course of the Chattahoochee River, featuring Island Bar Shoals and the Holcomb Bridge Post Office. This era shows a complex network of residential subdivisions such as Dunwoody Heights, Chestnut Forest, and North Peachtree Woods, which have largely filled the spaces between historic thoroughfares like Peachtree Industrial Blvd.

Educational and municipal landmarks are prominent, including Oglethorpe University, the DeKalb-Peachtree Airport, and the DeKalb County Water Works. The map provides a detailed look at the local water management system, marked by numerous dams such as Scott Candler Reservoir Dam and Murphy Chandler Dam. Scattered throughout these modern developments are vital links to the past, including New Hope Cemetery and Prosperity Cemetery.
