About this map

Chattahoochee sits at the vital junction where the Flint River and Apalachicola River meet at the head of Lake Seminole. This 1982 survey illustrates a landscape dominated by large-scale institutions and infrastructure, most notably the sprawling grounds of the State Hospital and the surrounding support facilities like the Filtration Plant and Sewage Disposal. The area’s role as a regional transit hub is clear, with the Seaboard and Seaboard Coast Line railroads intersecting near River Junction.

South of the urban center, the topography transitions into the heavily wooded drainages of Mosquito Creek and Flat Creek. Genealogists will find several burial grounds mapped across these ridges, including the River Hill Cem, State Hospital Cem, and Farrell Cem. Smaller rural communities like Rosedale and Hardin Heights are linked by a network of local roads and the notable Watson Line, while aviation history is represented by both the Widden Airstrip and the Corps of Engineers Airport.
