About this map

Chattahoochee River curves through this 2011 survey, marking the northwestern edge of a landscape where industrial infrastructure and historic residential districts converge. The massive rail operations at Inman Yard and Bellwood Yard dominate the central corridor, signaling the city's enduring role as a transportation hub. In the southeast, the urban fabric of downtown and midtown emerges, featuring landmarks such as the Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia State University, and Underground Atlanta.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the numerous burial grounds documented, including Crestlawn Cemetery, Hollywood Cemetery, and Lincoln Cemetery. The map also captures the suburban character of the northern reaches, from the estates of Buckhead and Vinings to the preserved landscape of Camp Bert Adams. Between the river and the city center, established neighborhoods like English Avenue Neighborhood, Grove Park, and Brookwood Hills illustrate the dense settlement patterns that define northwest Atlanta.
