About this map

Atlanta and its eastern suburbs are mapped here during a period of dense urban and residential maturity. The map captures the complex boundary between Fulton and DeKalb counties, winding through established neighborhoods like Morningside and Inman Park. Significant educational and cultural institutions anchor the landscape, including the sprawling grounds of Emory University and the Martin Luther King Jr National Historic Site.

Transportation corridors dominate the geography, from the aviation hub at DeKalb-Peachtree Airport to the heavy rail lines of the CSX railroad. Water features like Peachtree Creek and its southern fork carve through the grid of streets, providing natural breaks in the suburban development of North Druid Hills, Chamblee, and Decatur. Genealogists and historians will find interest in the proximity of older burial grounds such as Decatur Cemetery and Scottdale Cemetery to these growing municipal centers.
