About this map

Buford and Sugar Hill anchor the northeastern portion of this mid-century survey, a period defined by the expansion of the Northeast Expressway through the heart of Gwinnett County. The landscape reflects a transition from rural agricultural roots to suburban development, with the Southern Railway corridor still serving as a primary industrial spine through Suwanee. The survey captures important community landmarks including N-Gwinnett High Sch, Riverside Ch, and the Old Sawanee Ch.

To the west, the Chattahoochee River forms a natural boundary, crossed by historic passage points like Settles Bridge and Littles Ferry Bridge. While newer infrastructure like Peachtree Industrial Boulevard begins to reshape the area, older networks like Old Peachtree Road and McGinnis Ferry Road remain vital. Local heritage is preserved in sites such as Kemp Cem and the prominent Woodward Mill Ridge.
