About this map

Upatoi Creek winds through this landscape, serving as a central drainage point for numerous tributaries like Wolf Creek and Long Branch. This area, surveyed in 2011, reflects a legacy of institutional and rural land use near Columbus, Georgia. Notable sites include the Muscogee County Poor Farm and Muscogee Manor in the northwest, while the small settlement of Ochillee is located to the south near Ochillee Creek.

A network of river crossings and named high ground suggests a history of strategic movement through the terrain. Travelers and researchers can identify old transit points such as McBrides Bridge, McBride Ford, and Turkey Ford. The map is densely populated with family-named topographical features, including Cleveland Hill, Herman Hill, and Griswold Hill, which may provide valuable clues for local genealogists tracing former homesteads or property boundaries along the many creeks and branches.
