1908 Map of Columbus

About this map

Columbus serves as the industrial and transit anchor at the western edge of this territory, where the Chattahoochee River carves the border between Georgia and Alabama. Surveyed in the first decade of the 1900s, the map reveals a dense network of early transportation routes, including the Central of Georgia RR and the Seaboard Air Line RR cutting through the interior. East of the city, the landscape transitions into a series of smaller rural hubs and family landmarks like Cottage Mills and Cooks Mills.
