About this map

The Fort Benning Military Reservation dominates this landscape along the border of Muscogee and Chattahoochee counties, reflecting the military expansion of the post-World War II era. Significant transit corridors define the area's development, including the Central of Georgia and Seaboard Air Line railroads, which cross the terrain near the settlement of Ochillee. The presence of the Landing Field and several institutional sites such as the County Hospital and County Farm indicate a complex local infrastructure supporting both the military installation and the surrounding civilian community.

Water features such as Upatoi Creek and its tributaries, Randall Branch and Pine Knot Creek, weave through the territory, feeding into local landmarks like Cooks Mill Pond and Stephens Pond. For those tracing local history, the map preserves the location of rural landmarks like Midway Church and its associated Midway School Cemetery, alongside smaller settlements like Heineburg Village and Eelbeck, which served the region before further modernization.
