About this map

The Chattahoochee River defines the industrial and social landscape of this Alabama-Georgia borderlands survey, where the river's path is closely followed by the Chattahoochee Valley railroad. The textile-focused towns of the Valley stretch along the western bank, from Lanett and Shawmut down through Langdale and Fairfax. These settlements demonstrate the classic corridor development of the era, punctuated by the industrial infrastructure of mills and the Seaboard Coast Line rail network.

Away from the riverside industrial core, the landscape transitions into rural communities such as Huguley and Osanippa. The map is rich with local history markers, including family and community landmarks like Oak Wood Cem and Johnson Chapel. While the northern section around West Point shows significant urban expansion by the early 1980s, the southern reaches near Lake Harding retain their character, dotted with country churches like Evergreen Ch and Hopewell Ch.
