1949 Map of Fort Mitchell

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

The Fort Benning Military Reservation occupies the eastern portion of this landscape along the Chattahoochee River, where the state line divides Alabama and Georgia. This post-war period captures a transition in the local economy, as the Central of Georgia railroad follows the winding path of Cowpen Creek through the rugged interior hills. In the southern reach of the survey, the rural settlement of Oswichee is visible with its local Cem and schools, while the more prominent Fort Mitchell sits north of the junction of Uchee Creek. The map documents a terrain defined by numerous waterways including Igahee Creek and Sevenmile, illustrating the complex drainage of the river basin. Cultural landmarks like Kite Sch and the Radio Towers punctuate the ridges, and Bradley Landing marks an important historical point of river access.
