About this map

The Lawson Army Airfield serves as a focal point for this military landscape on the Georgia-Alabama border, situated just south of Columbus. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of ridges and hills, such as Riley Ridge and Barkley Ridge, which overlook the winding path of the Chattahoochee River. The installation's infrastructure is detailed through an extensive grid of named roads, including Marne Rd and Lumpkin Rd, alongside recreational features like the Fort Benning Mtb Trail.

Hydrological features are prominent throughout the training grounds, with Uchee Creek and Osuichee Creek carving through the ridgelines. Small water bodies like Russ Pond and Harps Pond dot the eastern sections of the quadrangle. The map captures the intersection of heavy military aviation and administrative use with the natural drainage patterns and elevation shifts typical of the Fall Line region.
