2017 Map of Fort Benning

About this map

The city of Columbus and the expansive military infrastructure of Lawson Army Airfield anchor the landscape along the Georgia-Alabama border. The Chattahoochee River carves a winding path through the center of this 2017 survey, separating Muscogee and Chattahoochee counties in Georgia from Russell County in Alabama. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of named ridges and hills, such as Riche Hill, Sexton Ridge, and Running Ridge, which overlook a network of creeks including Oswichee Cr and Uchee Cr. The street grid of the southern portions of Columbus transitions into specialized military corridors like 1st Infantry Bde Loop and Gaines Cir. Local water bodies like Harps Pond and Russ Pond sit among the many tributaries feeding the primary river system.
