1954 Map of Northwest Atlanta

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Chattahoochee River carves a natural border between Cobb and Fulton counties, setting the stage for the industrial and residential expansion of northwest Atlanta. This period of growth is anchored by massive rail infrastructure, most notably the expansive Inman Yard and the Seaboard Bellwood Yard which dominate the central landscape. The density of cultural and educational institutions is striking, ranging from the Georgia Institute of Technology to historic campuses like Atlanta University and Morris Brown College.
