1955 Map of Sandy Springs
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Chattahoochee River defines the central axis of this landscape, dividing the growing communities of Marietta, Smyrna, and Sandy Springs during a period of significant post-war expansion. While the 1955 topography shows a largely rural network of country roads like Paper Mill Road and Johnson Ferry Road, purple revision overlays from the late 1960s and early 1970s reveal the rapid suburbanization of north Atlanta.
