About this map

The Fort Benning Military Reservation dominates this landscape along the border of Muscogee and Chattahoochee Counties, showing the integration of military infrastructure and rural Georgia geography. Long-established names such as Eelbeck and Ochillee appear alongside specialized training facilities, including an Airfield and a Landing Strip. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of water bodies and hills, many bearing family or local names such as Cleveland Hill, Griswold Hill, and Winstead Hill.

Hydrological features are particularly prominent, with Upatoi Creek winding through the center, joined by Ochillee Creek, Randall Creek, and Clear Creek. Small impoundments like Choke Mill Pond and Stephens Pond dot the drainage basins, while the presence of Midway Ch and Green Acres Cem provides valuable points of reference for genealogists tracing families whose lands were eventually incorporated into the reservation boundaries.
