1954 Map of Northwest Atlanta

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Chattahoochee River defines the western edge of this urban survey, where the burgeoning infrastructure of Northwest Atlanta meets the wooded heights of Mount Wilkinson. In this era of rapid growth, the landscape is a dense network of residential districts and industrial hubs, anchored by the massive rail facilities at Inman Yard and the Bellwood Yard. The map meticulously records the city's academic and social backbone, featuring the Georgia Institute of Technology, Morris Brown College, and Marist College. Large green spaces like Chastain Memorial Park and Piedmont Park provide a counterpoint to the tightly packed street grids of Home Park and Five Points.
