About this map

The Chattahoochee River forms a wide, meandering boundary between Alabama and Georgia, defining the eastern edge of this region. Near the riverbanks, the town of Columbia serves as a primary hub, with local roads like Stillwater Rd and Lizard Lope Rd radiating into the surrounding countryside. The landscape is dotted with small settlements such as Hilton, Sawhatchee, and Freeman, each connected by a network of rural routes that follow the winding paths of Coheelee Cr and Sawhatchee Cr.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community sites, including the Columbia Cem African American and the Shiloh Missionary Church Cem. A notable piece of architectural history is preserved at the Coheelee Creek Covered Bridge, spanning a tributary that feeds into the river near Freeman Bend. The map illustrates a rural landscape where industry, such as that along Industrial Blvd, meets the traditional agricultural and timber lands typical of the Wiregrass region.
