About this map

Gordon and its surrounding riverfront in Houston County define this landscape along the Chattahoochee River, which serves as the boundary between Alabama and Georgia. The town's grid is centered near the Gordon Post Office and Gordon Cemetery, while the riverbank is dotted with historic access points including Potters Landing, Upper Gordon Landing, and Hayesville Landing. This river-oriented geography is balanced by industrial and aviation infrastructure, such as the Great Northern Airport and the Georgia-Pacific Airport further south.

In the eastern portion of the map, the landscape shifts toward the smaller community of Cedar Springs, home to the Cedar Springs Cemetery and the Cedar Springs Lookout Tower. Waterways like Sauhatchee Creek and Cedar Springs Branch drain the rural acreage, while smaller settlements like Philadelphia, Liberty, and Alaga are connected by a network of county roads. These details offer a view of a region shaped by both its agricultural roots and its strategic position along a major Southern waterway.
