About this map

Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport dominates the southern portion of this landscape, illustrating the massive scale of regional transportation infrastructure during the 1990s. This urban and suburban transition includes the established Fort McPherson Military Reservation and significant institutional grounds such as Morehouse College, Spelman College, and Clark Atlanta University. The map documents the intricate road network surrounding Atlanta, East Point, and College Park, showing how modern expressways like the Southeast Expwy bisect traditional residential neighborhoods.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the detailed plotting of numerous cemeteries, including the expansive Westview Cemetery and Greenwood Cemetery. The survival of smaller settlements and junctions such as Blair Village, Cooks Crossing, and Mountain View alongside major commercial landmarks like the Greenbriar Mall Shopping Center provides a clear record of the area's development before twenty-first-century expansion.
