| Summary: | This image is a map showing the roads and the topography of a portion of the City of Atlanta and vicinity in Dekalb, Clayton, and Henry Counties, Georgia. The map shows contour lines, roads, railroads, buildings, schools, churches, cemeteries, a farm, boundaries, forests, rivers, lakes, and swamps. The map survey was done in 1929. The map uses polyconic projection. The contour interval is five feet and the datum is mean sea level. A note right below the map scale states "Land Lot Lines compiled". There is a map legend along the right side of the map. In the lower left corner, it gives information on the contributors as follows: "S.P. Floore, Topographic Engineer in charge. Topography by C.A. Killian. Control by U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey and City of Atlanta Mapping Division". Along the bottom of the map from left to right are the information on the contributors, an image showing the approximate mean declination in 1928, the map scale, the name of the printing company "Williams & Heinz Co.", a map key, and a subtitle “Sheet 80”. The map is an original printed copy and is encapsulated. The map has a sizable missing piece in the upper right margin that renders some information in the map key missing. There is also a small missing piece along the middle portion of the right margin. Other than these, the map is still in good condition.
