2020 Map of Gordon

About this map

The Chattahoochee River defines the winding border between Houston County, Alabama, and Early County, Georgia, serving as the central artery for this river-bottom landscape. On the Alabama side, the town of Gordon is the primary hub, surrounded by smaller communities such as Philadelphia and Alaga. The terrain is characterized by intricate water networks including Cedar Creek and Howards Mill Cr, alongside family-named landmarks like Smith Bend and Howells Fishpond. Across the water in Georgia, the settlement of Cedar Springs is notable for its cluster of community landmarks, including the Cedar Springs Cem and the Cedar Springs Freewill Baptist Church Cem. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural infrastructure of cemeteries and small churches, such as Saint Stephens Cem and the Liberty Assembly of God Church Cem, reflecting the generations of families who settled these fertile floodplains.
