About this map

Eufaula sits at the edge of the Walter F George Reservoir in this late 1960s survey, updated with late 1970s aerial photography. The landscape is defined by the transition from the city’s industrial and educational sites, like the Chauncey Sparks Terminal and Chauncey Sparks Trade Sch, to the rural hinterlands of Barbour County. A significant historical line, the Old Indian Treaty Bdy, cuts diagonally across the southwestern portion of the sheet, marking a legacy of early territorial division.

South of the city, smaller communities like Terese and White Oak are centers of local life, supported by numerous country churches such as Epworth Ch, Friendship Ch, and Sardis Ch. The transportation network relies on the Seaboard Coast Line railroad and several creek systems, including Barbour Creek and Cheneyhatchee Creek, which flow toward the Chattahoochee River. Recreation areas along the water reflect the mid-century development of the reservoir for public use.
