About this map

The Martin Luther King, Jr National Historic Site and the historic campus of Emory University anchor this detailed study of northeastern Atlanta and its surrounding DeKalb County suburbs. This transition from the urban core of Inman Park and Copen Hill to the sprawling residential developments of North DeKalb and Tucker illustrates a century of metropolitan expansion. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of North Fork Peachtree Creek and South Fork Peachtree Creek, which carve through neighborhoods like Morningside and Virginia Highlands.

Institutional landmarks such as Agnes Scott College in Decatur and the Dekalb-Peachtree Airport stand alongside established communities like Avondale Estates and Scottdale. Geographers and local historians can trace the intricate network of arterial roads, including Peachtree Road and Memorial Drive, which replaced earlier rail and trail routes to connect the historic city center with outlying areas like Belvedere Park and Clarkston.
