About this map

Fort Benning and its vast military infrastructure dominate this landscape at the confluence of the Chattahoochee River and Uchee Creek. The map documents a complex network of internal military roads, including First Division Rd and Eighth Division Rd, weaving through a terrain defined by numerous named ridges such as Strickland Ridge and Riley Ridge. The installation's aviation capabilities are anchored by Lawson Army Airfield (Fort Benning), while residential pockets like McDaniel Manor are situated near the northern boundary.

Water plays a critical role in the geography of the Chattahoochee and Russell county border, with the river serving as the state line between Georgia and Alabama. Tributaries like Oswichee Cr, Red Mill Cr, and Smith Creek drain the dissected plateau. The presence of smaller impoundments such as Harps Pond and Hards Pond among the hills suggests the intensive management of this training ground and its natural resources.
