About this map

The Chattahoochee River forms the northwestern boundary of this 1990s-era suburban landscape, where the historical path of Old Peachtree Road meets modern commercial corridors. The map documents the rapid expansion of Gwinnett County, showing the proximity of established towns like Norcross and Lilburn to newer residential developments around Berkeley Lake. This period of growth is anchored by older community centers, represented by Mt Carmel Cem and the Buchanan-King Cem.

Industrial and infrastructural signatures of the era are prominent, from the large Quarry near Beaver Ruin Creek to the Southern Railway line that continues to shape the region's orientation. The concentration of educational institutions, such as the Greater Atlanta Christian Sch and Summerour Middle Sch, reflects the residential density that transformed these once-rural areas into significant population centers just before the turn of the millennium.
