About this map

The Fort Benning Military Reservation dominates the northern half of this terrain, where the Military Reservation Boundary cuts across the wooded hills of Chattahoochee and Marion counties. South of this line, a network of rural settlements and community landmarks highlights the mid-century landscape of West Georgia. The Central of Georgia railroad serves as a primary transit corridor, passing through the hamlets of Christopher, Vesper, and Glen Alta.

Local life is anchored by several small congregations and educational sites, including Zion Hills Ch, Christopher Ch, and St Mathews Sch. The physical geography is defined by the winding paths of Ochillee Creek and Hichitee Creek, with prominent elevations like Bush Hill and Gobblers Hill providing local relief. This survey, photorevised in the early 1970s, captures the intersection of military land use and established rural Georgia townships.
