Atlanta

1970s contour map of Atlanta and the nearby Talladega National Forest.

This informational and tactile topographic map was prepared using a base image by the United States Geographical Survey and published in 1970 by Hubbard Scientific, Inc. of Chippewa Falls, WI. It covers a large area in northern Georgia around the capital of Atlanta and includes portions of adjacent Alabama.

Issued at a scale of 1:250,000, the map offers a detailed overview of the transportation network, geographic features, and population density. A legend on the right side indicates that road data from 1964 was used and identifies the various symbols used to denote landmarks, airfields, infrastructure, and more. Toponyms label cities and towns according to their respective population sizes.

Distances between points (red stars) are noted and elevation data is occasionally supplied. Notable features captured within the borders include Atlanta and its suburbs, the Talladega National Forest, and Fort McClellan.
