1956 Map of Snellville

About this map

Snellville and the surrounding Gwinnett County countryside are shown here during a period of transition, originally mapped in the mid-1950s with significant updates from the early 1980s. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of several drainage systems, including Hate Creek and Garner Creek to the west, and the winding Jacks Creek further south. The settlement at Centerville serves as a secondary focal point, surrounded by woodland and small water features like Edwards Lakes and Opossum Lake. This 1982 photorevised update illustrates the intensifying residential and commercial patterns that began to reshape this part of Georgia, while still retaining the original survey's detailed topography of the Weed Branch and local land divisions.
