About this map

The Chattahoochee River forms a wide, meandering boundary between Alabama and Georgia, defining the landscape around Gordon and Alaga. This riverine corridor is marked by significant topographical features such as Smith Bend and the drainage of Howards Mill Cr. The settlement pattern follows a mix of river-focused and road-based development, with small communities like Philadelphia and Liberty situated along a network of local routes including N State Highway 95 and GA Highway 370.

Family history and local heritage are anchored by sites such as Saint Stephens Cem, Gordon Cem, and Cedar Springs Cem. The presence of Rock Falls and various ponds like Howells Fishpond and Calhoun Pond suggests a land rich in water resources, supporting both agriculture and local transit. The map details the transition from the river lowlands to the inland communities, providing a clear view of the area's geography during the early 21st century.
