About this map

The Chattahoochee River forms the vital dividing line between Columbus, Georgia, and Phenix City, Alabama, anchoring a landscape where urban development meets significant military and educational footprints. This modern survey details a complex web of established residential districts such as Weracoba Heights, Clubview Heights, and Hilton Heights, reflecting decades of northward expansion from the historic core. Near the river, the Muscogee County Courthouse and Strayer University Columbus Campus mark the civic and academic heart of the city, while the southern portion is defined by the massive presence of Fort Benning and the Cusseta-Chattahoochee County boundary.

Several historic burial grounds, including the large Linwood Cem and Porterdale Cem, offer valuable reference points for genealogists. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of waterways like Bull Creek and Upatoi Creek, which have historically dictated the placement of roads like Victory Dr and Cusseta Rd. This map provides a clear view of how these natural features continue to shape the modern metropolitan area.
