1993 Map of Northwest Atlanta

About this map

Atlanta's northwestern expanse in the early 1990s is defined by a dense intersection of river geography and urban infrastructure. The Chattahoochee River carves a winding path through the landscape, buffered by the Chattahoochee River National Recreational Area, while major industrial hubs like Inman Yard showcase the city's role as a transportation nexus. The map documents a mature urban layout featuring prominent academic and civic institutions, from the sprawling campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Omni Coliseum to private schools like The Lovett Sch and Westminster Sch. Residential growth is visible across neighborhoods such as Buckhead, Vinings, and Grove Park, each punctuated by local landmarks like the Governors Mansion and the massive Lincoln Cemetery. This survey records the city just before the major transformations of the mid-90s, capturing the established rail lines, MARTA stations like West Lake Marta Sta, and the extensive park systems including Chastain Memorial Park.
