About this map

Fort Benning occupies a significant portion of this landscape, where the wooded terrain is defined by the headwaters and branches of Upatoi Creek. The topography is intricately carved by numerous waterways, including Pine Knot Creek, Sally Branch, and Bonham Creek, reflecting a land managed for military training and local water resources. Small impoundments like Gallups Millpond, McMath Pond, and Snelling Pond are scattered throughout the region, suggesting a history of water management and localized agriculture before or alongside the military presence. A network of named trails and roads, such as Shamanski Rd and Buena Vista Rd, connects these remote points across the Chattahoochee and Marion County line. The presence of the Concord-Landing Strip further emphasizes the specialized use of this territory within the larger military reservation area south of Columbus.
