About this map

Fort Benning encompasses much of the northern landscape of this region, where the terrain is defined by the winding course of Ochillee Creek and its many tributaries. The area is marked by a network of small settlements and family-named landmarks that speak to the local rural history of Cusseta-Chattahoochee County. Clusters of activity appear at Ida Vesper and Christopher, while the eastern border meets Marion County near the community of Glen Alta.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Zion Hill Baptist Church Cem, a central landmark for tracing family roots in this corner of Georgia. The landscape is dotted with several water bodies, including Schley Pond, Daniels Pond, and Bagley Lake, set against high points such as Bush Hill and Gobblers Hill. Roads like Old Columbus Rd and Hwy 137 connect these scattered rural outposts, illustrating the enduring transport patterns of the Chattahoochee backcountry.
