About this map

Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park dominates the western landscape of this early 1990s survey, preserving the civil war terrain of Kennesaw Mountain, Pigeon Hill, and Cheatham Hill. The map documents a period of significant suburban intensification between Marietta and Smyrna, where dense residential street grids and commercial corridors surround institutional landmarks like the Southern Tech Institute and the Chiropractic College.

Military and industrial footprints are prominent, notably at Dobbins Air Force Base and the adjacent Atlanta Naval Air Station. The transportation network is defined by the CSX Transportation rail line and major thoroughfares like Powder Springs Road. Local history is anchored by numerous spiritual and memorial sites, including the Confederate Cem, Greers Chapel, and Olive Springs Cem, while smaller communities such as Blackwells and Elizabeth mark the transition toward the northern reaches of the quadrangle.
