1987 Map of Columbus North

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Columbus Air Force Base dominates the northern landscape of this Lowndes County map, illustrating the heavy military and aviation presence in the region during the late 1980s. Southward, the city of Columbus shows its developed grid, where institutional landmarks like Lee High Sch, Hunt High Sch, and the Regional Medical Center anchor the community. The water systems define the western edge, particularly the complex engineering of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, which includes the Waverly Mansion Cut-Off and the Columbus Lock and Dam. This period reflects a landscape shaped by significant mid-century hydrological changes alongside established local centers of worship such as Calvary Ch and Hopewell Ch. For genealogists and local historians, the map documents a transition from rural clusters like Baldwin to the expanded infrastructure of the modern city, including the Southern Railway corridor and the winding course of Luxapallila Creek.
