1954 Map of Chamblee

About this map

The Chattahoochee River defines the northern edge of this landscape, where the Morgan Falls Dam and its adjacent substation once anchored the local utility infrastructure. By the mid-20th century, the northward expansion of Atlanta is clearly visible as residential developments and infrastructure projects reach toward Sandy Springs and Dunwoody. The transition from rural farmland to suburban hub is marked by the presence of institutions like Oglethorpe Univ and the sprawling De Kalb-Peachtree Airport.
