1955 Map of Sandy Springs

About this map

Chattahoochee River crossings and rolling Piedmont terrain define this mid-1950s landscape as the Atlanta metropolitan area begins its northward expansion. The map details the transition from rural landholdings to emerging suburban communities, centered around Sandy Springs and smaller hubs like Mt Bethel and Marietta Campground. Local social structures are visible through a network of country schools and houses of worship, including Cross Roads Ch, Santell Ch, and the East Side Sch.
