About this map

Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport dominates the southern landscape of this late-1990s survey, illustrating the massive scale of regional transportation infrastructure during a period of significant growth. The map captures a dense urban and suburban corridor south of Atlanta, where historic neighborhoods like West End and Cascade Heights meet major institutional grounds. Significant acreage is devoted to the Fort McPherson Military Reservation and sprawling memorial grounds, including Westview Cemetery and Greenwood Cemetery.

The presence of the Central of Georgia rail line alongside arterial routes such as Campbellton Road and Washington Road highlights the evolution of the area's transit network. Beyond the commercial hubs of East Point and College Park, the map preserves the locations of numerous local institutions, from Woodward Academy and Atlanta Metro College to neighborhood landmarks like Trinity AME Ch and Barnett Stadium.
