About this map

Atlanta's southwestern expansion and its sprawling transportation infrastructure are the focal points of this contemporary survey. The landscape is dominated in the south by the massive footprint of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, which serves as a modern anchor for the neighboring municipalities of College Park, Hapeville, and East Point. The map provides a detailed view of the urban and suburban grid, connecting neighborhoods like Cascade Heights and Sylvan Hills through a complex network of boulevards and expressways.

Historic institutions and significant green spaces are interspersed throughout the residential corridors. Academic hubs such as Morehouse College and Spelman College are visible in the north, while extensive memorial grounds like Westview Cem and Greenwood Cem offer substantial open space. The terrain is drained by several waterways, including S Utoy Cr and the S River, illustrating how the city's development has navigated the headwaters and tributaries of the region.
