About this map

The Chattahoochee River defines the eastern edge of this agricultural landscape in the early 1980s, serving as the border between Florida and Georgia. Near the Herman E Talmadge Bridge, the riverbank features river-oriented infrastructure like the Boat Neals Landing Ramp and a nearby Campground. The interior of the sheet is marked by a network of rural roads connecting small settlements like Bascom and Hornsville, punctuated by numerous country churches such as Hickory Grove Ch and Mt Olive Ch.

A notable relic of military history appears in the center of the map: the Auxiliary Field No 3 (Abandoned), which reflects the region's aviation heritage. To the south and east, the terrain transitions into The Flatwoods, characterized by numerous water bodies including Bazzell Pond and Long Pond. Industrial activity is evident in localized sites like the Sandpit and Claypit, while the Bascom Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark for forest monitoring in this timber-heavy corridor of Jackson County.
