About this map

The Chattahoochee River serves as the dividing line between Alabama and Georgia in this mid-century survey, separating Russell Co from Stewart Co. The landscape is dominated by the Seaboard Air Line railroad, which tracks the river's western bank through small communities like Cottonton and McLendon. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Hatchechubbee Creek and Hannahatchee Creek, feeding into the main river valley.

Local life at this time centered on scattered rural institutions, evidenced by the many small churches and schools such as Shady Grove Ch, New Hope Ch, and St James Sch. In the north, Holy Trinity stands as a primary settlement, while the town of Omaha occupies the Georgia side. Notable family-named landmarks like Murrell Hill and its Lookout Tower rise above the drainage basins of Snake Creek and Bluff Creek.
