1956 Map of Conyers

About this map

Lithonia and Conyers anchor this mid-century look at the DeKalb and Rockdale county line, a landscape transitioning from rural agricultural districts to a developing suburban corridor. The Georgia RR cuts through the northern section, connecting historic quarrying centers like Rockland and Collinsville. This period shows the early emergence of residential developments such as Lakeview Estates alongside long-standing rural landmarks like Bruce St Sch & Union Ch. The topography is defined by significant monadnocks, including Arabia Mtn and Pine Mtn, while the Yellow River and Honey Creek drain the undulating hills. Local social life is mapped through numerous country churches and schools, from Whites Chapel to Miller Chapel, revealing the established social fabric before the major suburban expansion of the late 20th century.
