About this map

Lawrenceville serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s survey, showing a period of transition as the community expanded outward along the Seaboard rail line and established roads like Old Athens Road. The town center is densely detailed, featuring the Central High School, County Hospital, and Shadowlawn Cemetery. To the north, the Lawrenceville Campground and Walnut Grove Church mark traditional social hubs, while the County Airport indicates the growing infrastructure of the era.

Rural Gwinnett County unfolds to the east and south, where the headwaters of the Alcovy River and Yellow River carve through the landscape. Smaller settlements such as Grayson, Dacula, and New Hope are documented before the onset of modern suburban sprawl. Local history is preserved through numerous family-named landmarks and rural institutions, including McMillan Cemetery, Ewings Chapel Cemetery, and the Chestnut Grove Church near Snellville.
