About this map

The Chattahoochee River defines the industrial and civic layout of this eastern Alabama corridor, where the textile heritage of the Chattahoochee Valley is reflected in the closely knit sequence of mill towns. From Lanett in the north through Shawmut, Langdale, and Fairfax, the map reveals a landscape shaped by historical company-town planning, now integrated into the city of Valley. Numerous local burial grounds, including Fairfax Cemetery and Glass Cemetery, serve as essential landmarks for genealogists tracking family lineages in Chambers County.

Water management is prominent along the river's course, featuring the Great Bend and several islands like Magnolia Island and Hills Island. Beyond the riverbanks, the terrain rises toward The Mountain to the east, while the west is characterized by transportation hubs such as the Lanett Municipal Airport and the residential clusters of Huguley and Little Shawmut. Smaller tributaries like Moores Creek and Little Osanippa Creek weave through the undulating topography, connecting the various settlements and rural crossroads.
