About this map

Stone Mountain dominates the landscape in this early 1990s survey, surrounded by the suburban expansion of DeKalb and Gwinnett counties. The massive granite dome is the centerpiece of Stone Mountain Memorial State Park, where Stone Mountain Lake and Venable Lake mark the northern and western slopes. This era of DeKalb County's history is characterized by dense residential growth and institutional development, visible in the numerous educational centers like DeKalb College and the Atlanta Sch for the Deaf.

Transit corridors define the local economy, with the CSX railroad and major interchanges facilitating movement between established communities like Tucker, Clarkston, and Stone Mountain. Older family and community landmarks remain preserved amidst the development, including Floral Hills Mem Gardens and historic houses of worship like Indian Creek Ch and Rehoboth Ch. Waterways such as Snapfinger Creek and Barbashela Creek weave through the suburban grid, feeding localized reservoirs like Lake Michelle and Durham Lake.
