About this map

Snellville serves as the primary urban center in this early 1990s study of Gwinnett County, illustrating a landscape in transition as residential growth follows established corridors like Killian Hill Road. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Snellville Mountain and the eastern fringes of Stone Mountain Memorial State Park, with the Yellow River cutting a winding path through the center, notably at the Yellow Horseshoe Bend.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense network of community landmarks, including numerous family-named burial grounds like Garner Cem and Whaley Cem. The presence of the Stone Mountain Britt Memorial Airport and the large Quarry near Rock Chapel highlights the diverse economic and transportation infrastructure of the era. Educational and spiritual centers are well-represented, from the Gwinnett Voc Tr Ctr to historic congregations such as White Oak Ch and Zoar Ch, providing a detailed record of suburban development before the turn of the century.
