2020 Map of Suwanee

About this map

The Chattahoochee River defines the western edge of this suburban landscape, where the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area preserves a corridor of green space amidst the rapid growth of Suwanee, Johns Creek, and Duluth. The map documents a modern network of transportation arteries like Peachtree Industrial Blvd and Nelson Brogdon Blvd, which weave through residential developments. Despite the contemporary urbanization, markers of the area's earlier rural character remain. Numerous small family burial grounds are interspersed throughout the residential blocks, including the Lockridge Family Cem, Connolly Cem, and Douglass Cem. Water features such as Fish Weir Shoals and the Littles Ferry Bridge crossing indicate the historical importance of the river for navigation and sustenance before the expansion of Sugar Hill and Buford.
