About this map

Columbus serves as the western anchor of this landscape, situated along the Mississippi-Alabama state line where suburban growth meets the drainage basins of Magby Creek and McCrary Creek. The area is defined by numerous residential developments such as New Hope, Christopher Hills, and Sweedenburg Estates, indicating a period of significant expansion east of the city. Central to the topography is Lake Lowndes, which is surrounded by smaller estates including Lakeover Estates and Pineview Estates.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several historic burial grounds, including Union Chapel Cemetery and Baptist Grove Cemetery near the community of McCrary. The map details a complex road network branching from Airline Road and Alabama Street, crossing multiple watercourses like Ellis Creek and Nash Creek. The survey clearly delineates the border between Lowndes County, Mississippi and Pickens County, Alabama, providing a precise look at property and township lines in this border region.
