1999 Map of Columbus

About this map

The Chattahoochee River forms the industrial and geographic backbone of this border region, where the urban grid of Columbus meets the northern edge of the Fort Benning Military Reservation. Along the riverbanks, the legacy of textile and milling history is evident at City Mills, while the rail networks of the Central of Georgia and Southern railroads tie the city to the wider southern trade routes. The landscape transitions from the dense streetcar-era neighborhoods like Rose Hill and Waverly Terrace into the mid-century sprawl of Woodlawn Estates and Highland Park.
