1955 Map of Sandy Springs

About this map

Sewell Mill and the banks of the Chattahoochee River define this mid-century landscape where suburban expansion meets rural Georgia. The survey documents a critical period of growth across the Fulton and Cobb County line, showing the early infrastructure of the interstate system through numerous interchanges. Significant social and spiritual landmarks are preserved here, from the Marietta Campground and its associated cemetery to a dense network of country churches like Antioch Ch and Mt Bethel Ch. The western edge is dominated by the U.S. Military Res (Dobbins Air Force Base), while the sprawling Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area buffers the river corridor. Local education and community life are grounded in sites like Powers Ferry Road Sch and Sardis Ch, illustrating the transition from a dispersed mill-and-farm economy to a modern metropolitan edge.
