1987 Map of Columbus South

About this map

The Tennessee Tombigbee Waterway dominates the western portion of this 1980s survey, illustrating the managed river system that reshaped the landscape south of Columbus. The map reveals a complex network of disposal areas and gravel pits adjacent to the waterway, contrasting with the long-established residential and civic sites like Friendship Cem and the Fairground. To the east, the Columbus-Lowndes County Airport and the expanding reach of Yorkville show the mid-century suburbanization of the region. Local history is anchored by several rural landmarks, including St Paul Ch, Brick Ch, and Mitchell Mem Sch, while the presence of the Burlington Northern and Gulf and Mississippi railroads highlights the area's continued reliance on rail for commerce. This period shows the transition between traditional riverside industry and modern infrastructure like the Luxapallila Creek Recreation Area.
