About this map

Fort Gillem Military Reservation anchors the southern portion of this landscape, reflecting the significant institutional and governmental footprint in the region during the 1990s. The map illustrates a densely structured corridor where Atlanta and East Atlanta meet the suburbs of DeKalb County, defined by a complex network of transportation and social infrastructure. Significant institutional sites such as the U S Penitentiary (Atlanta), Atlanta Correctional Center, and the Metro Correctional Institute are prominent landmarks.

Genealogists and local researchers will find value in the documentation of numerous burial grounds including Oakland Cem, Kennedy Mem Gardens (Cemetery), and Sylvester Cem. The map also captures the educational and religious landscape of neighborhoods like Thomasville and Panthersville, noting features such as Masjid al-Islam and Columbia High Sch. Waterways like Intrenchment Creek and the South River provide the natural skeleton for this developed urban and suburban environment.
