About this map

Columbus expansion meets the rural landscape of the Chattahoochee and Muscogee county borders in this modern survey. The terrain is defined by a dense network of minor waterways and impoundments, such as Averetts Pond, Snelling Pond, and the expansive Gallups Millpond. These water features feed into systems like Pine Knot Cr and Spring Cr, which carve through the land alongside a complex grid of military and local access roads.

Evidence of specialized land use is seen at the Concord Landing Strip and the restricted corridors of the Hastings Range Reservation Rd. The map illustrates the contemporary interface between the urban fringe of Georgia’s second-largest city and the managed timber and agricultural lands of the neighboring counties. Local history researchers can trace named drainages like Sallie Br and Peachtree Br to understand the traditional property divisions in this section of the Piedmont.
