About this map

Fort McPherson and the sprawling Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport anchor this 2011 survey of the city's southwestern corridor. The map details a densely developed urban and suburban landscape, where historic neighborhoods like Mechanicsville, Summerhill, and Peoplestown sit adjacent to the intricate highway interchanges near the Atlanta Central City Post Office. This era shows the established footprint of Clark Atlanta University and the Joel Chandler Harris Homes north of the residential blocks of West End.

Significant acreage is dedicated to large-scale institutions and public spaces, including the expansive Westview Cemetery and Greenwood Cemetery. The transition from the urban core of Atlanta into the satellite cities of East Point, College Park, and Hapeville is marked by a complex network of roads like Henry Ford II Ave and Airport Blvd, reflecting the area's deep ties to transportation and regional commerce.
