About this map

Columbus serves as the urban anchor of this post-war landscape, situated along the Chattahoochee River as it forms the border between Georgia and Alabama. The city's growth is marked by residential developments like Baker Village and Benning Park Homes, while the extensive Fort Benning Military Reservation dominates the landscape to the south and east. This military presence is defined by a dense network of specialized areas including Lawson Field, Normandy Field, and numerous training grounds such as the Parachute Jump Towers and Cartouche Rifle Range.
