About this map

Borden Wheeler Springs and Borden Springs anchor the western portion of this landscape, where the water management of the modern era is visible through an extensive network of watershed dams. The map documents the industrial memory of the region at Tecumseh Furnace near the settlement of Tecumseh, reflecting a heritage of iron production along the Alabama-Georgia border.

Genealogists can find numerous family-linked burial sites, including Antioch Cemetery, Payne Cemetery, and Arrington Chapel Cemetery near Arrington Lake Number 1. The terrain is defined by prominent ridges like Augusta Mine Ridge and heights such as Davis Mountain and Mercer Mountain. To the east, the Esom Hill Post Office marks the community of Esom Hill near the state line, where Little Terrapin Creek and Hog Creek drain the surrounding hills.
