1954 Map of East Point
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
Military Reservation Fort Mc Pherson anchors the central landscape of this mid-century survey, a period when the southern reach of Atlanta was rapidly expanding. This transition from suburban to urban density is evident in the dense street grids of West End and East Point, while the southeastern corner is dominated by the sprawling footprint of the Atlanta Municipal Airport. The map is a significant record for researchers of higher education, detailing several historically Black colleges such as Morehouse College, Spelman College, and Clark College, alongside specialized institutions like the Gammon Theological Seminary.
