Selected from the Digital Public Library of America's 2 image records catalogued for this county. Every one shown here carries a public-domain status or a licence that permits reuse on a site that carries advertising; non-commercial, share-alike and restricted images are excluded. The selection is spread across the county's towns (at most eight per town), so no single institution's bulk upload crowds out the rest. Each opens the holding library's record, and the complete set at the Digital Public Library of America is one click away.

The county from the air

48 shown

Flown by the U.S. Geological Survey between 1937 and 1989, the Aerial Photo Single Frames collection is the definitive mid-century view of the land: fields, roads and rivers as the camera saw them. The Survey holds 2,110 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 48 frames below were taken over the county itself, chosen across the decades of flights (at most four a year from that rectangle), so one flight cannot crowd out the rest. The full set is free to browse and download at EarthExplorer under the dataset Aerial Photo Single Frames.

September 2009FloodDunwoody$6,100,000Record, and in some cases catastrophic, flooding continued to expand across the northern and western portions of the Atlanta metropolitan area as renewed rounds of showers and thunderstorms with very heavy rain tracked repeatedly over the same areas throughout the day. Portions of hundreds of roads in the county were closed from flooding and washed out bridges and/or culverts. Hundreds of homes, apartments, and businesses sustained significant flood damage. Record flooding was occurring on Peachtree Creek, the North Fork of Peachtree Creek, and Nancy Creek in northeast Atlanta. The interchange of Interstate-285 and Interstate-85 in northeast DeKalb county, known as Spaghetti Junction was completely shut down for nearly an hour early on the 21st because of flooding. Major traffic backups occurred as a result. A mud slide blocked two westbound lanes of U.S. Highway 78 at Hugh Howell Road. Other mud slides were reported within the county. These are just some of the more significant examples of flood damage in the county. Monetary damage during this time frame across DeKalb county was estimated to exceed $6 million.
September 2004Flash FloodCountywide$5,000,000Numerous reports were received from the DeKalb County Emergency Manager, the media, and the public of extensive flooding across much of the Atlanta metropolitan area, especially the northern parts of the county. Widespread flooding of roads, streets, and highways was reported throughout the county, several of which had to be closed. Many homes, businesses, property and vehicles across the county were flooded during this event. Major flooding was reported in many areas of the central and northern parts of the county, specifically between Interstates 20 and 285. Some of these areas experienced catastrophic and historical flooding, with some of the worst flooding observed in nearly 100 years. National Weather Service river gages showed that Peachtree Creek and Nancy Creek quickly rose to record flood levels during the late evening hours. Peachtree Creek rose above its flood stage of 17 feet at 545 pm EDT, then went into record flood stage at 845 pm EDT, then fell below flood stage between 5 and 6 am EDT September 17th. The river crested at 22.7 feet, which is 5.7 feet above flood stage and 1.5 feet above the record flood stage of 21.1 feet, previously reached in 1990. The river gage on Peachtree Creek was washed away during this event. Hundreds of residents along and near Peachtree Creek had to be evacuated, some by boat. Twenty-five to 50 homes and several apartment complexes, including the Peachtree Apartments, were impacted by the flood waters, many sustaining significant and extensive damage. Record flooding was also observed on Nancy Creek, which reached its 11 foot flood stage at 600 pm EDT, reached a record flood stage of 15 feet at 1130 pm EDT, then fell below flood stage around 4 am EDT September 17th. The impact in this area was similar to that near Peachtree Creek, with dozens of homes flooded and many residents having to be evacuated. In Decatur, one home was devastated when the waters of Peavine Creek rose over two feet in the basement of one home. A number of sinkholes were left in the county after the flooding receded, the largest being a 65 by 25 foot sinkhole on Durret Way in Dunwoody.

Major flooding affected many roads and homes, many of which were the same ones affected just 10 days prior. The Peachtree Apartments were flooded. Several evacuations and rescues were required.

September 2009Flash FloodDunwoody$760,000Several USGS stream gages showed significant flooding commencing during this time frame across DeKalb county as thunderstorms with heavy rain, which had been west of the area most of the night, began to edge east-northeast and develop across Fulton, DeKalb, and Gwinnett counties.
