About this map

The Chattahoochee River carves a diagonal path through this suburban landscape during the early 1990s, defining the boundary between Cobb and Fulton counties. This survey illustrates the dense residential and commercial expansion in northern Georgia, anchored by the Sandy Springs settlement and the industrial and retail hubs of Marietta and Smyrna. The proximity of Dobbins Air Force Base and the Cumberland Mall Shopping Center highlights the rapid suburbanization of the era, while the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area preserves a corridor of green space amidst the grid of emerging subdivisions.

Local history is preserved in the numerous schools and religious sites, such as Mt Bethel Ch and Holy Innocents Ch. Topographic details reveal the winding courses of Sewell Mill Creek and Sope Creek as they flow toward Bull Sluice Lake. From the heights of Blackjack Mtn to the grounds of Chastain Memorial Park, the map provides a precise look at the infrastructure of a growing metropolis, including complex highway interchanges like Interchange 111.
