This circa 1968 photo gives us an aerial view looking northeast and showing the construction of the Stone Mountain Freeway, which was completed in 1970.  Many thanks to Leonard Thibadeau for sharing this. 

In the 1970s, the Dept. Of Transportation planned to extend the freeway through the heart of the Medlock Park and Druid Hills neighborhoods (and beyond) all the way to the Downtown Connector.  The map on the next page shows a portion of this proposed route.  And even more about this freeway maximizing plan can be seen here.     Google map
