About this map

Fort McPherson Military Reservation and the sprawling footprint of the Hartsville-Atlanta International Airport dominate the southern half of this landscape, illustrating the heavy institutional and logistical infrastructure that shaped this portion of Fulton County by the early 1990s. The map reveals a dense residential and academic fabric in the northern reaches, including Morehouse College, Spelman College, and Clark Atlanta University, alongside historic burial grounds like Westview Cemetery and Greenwood Cemetery.

Transit networks are a primary focus, with intricate road systems defined by numerous intersections such as Interchange 42 and 81 and the Southeast Expwy. In contrast to this urban development, natural pockets like the Cascade Springs Nature Preserve and the winding Utoy Creek provide a sense of the original topography. Educational institutions are exceptionally dense, ranging from Woodward Academy in College Park to neighborhood schools like Beecher Hills Sch and Therrell High Sch.
