1955 Map of Sandy Springs

About this map

The Chattahoochee River defines the landscape of the mid-1950s, acting as the boundary between Cobb and Fulton counties before the massive suburban expansion of the late 20th century. This area, updated with purple revisions in the late 1960s, shows the transition of Sandy Springs and Atlanta northward. In Cobb County, large tracts of land are occupied by the Dobbins Air Force Base and the Naval Air Station.
