2014 Map of Midland

About this map

Midland and Gordydale anchor this section of West Georgia, where the suburban growth of Columbus meets the rural reaches of the Harris and Muscogee county line. The landscape is defined by a dense network of water management features and family landmarks, including Bull Creek Reservoir Number One and the Britton Ponds. These small water bodies are interspersed with numerous private family cemeteries, such as Jenkin Cem and Willis Cem, which provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research in the area. The map illustrates a shift in land use, where established settlements like Schatulga and Flat Rock are connected by a modernizing road network including Macon Rd and Scott Rd. Larger reservoirs like Stonewall Jackson Lake and smaller features like Hedleys Pond illustrate the local reliance on the Bull Creek watershed for both recreation and resource management.
