About this map

Lawrenceville and its surrounding suburbs appear here during a period of significant residential expansion in Gwinnett County. The map captures a transition from rural homesteads to modern developments, as seen in the densifying neighborhoods of Sandlewood, Acadia Woods, and Waverly Woods. Despite this growth, older land-use patterns remain visible through several water-control structures like Powell Dam and Kennerly Dam, and the prominent Grayson Quarry in the south.

Local history is deeply anchored in the numerous family and community burial grounds documented here, such as Shadowlawn Cemetery and the Old Ewing Cemetery. Significant public infrastructure, including Gwinnett County Airport-Briscoe Field and the Lawrenceville Post Office, serves as a hub for the community. The landscape is naturally defined by the Alcovy River and Big Haynes Creek, which frame the suburban sprawl with pockets of greenery like the Alcovy Forest.
