About this map

The Chattahoochee River forms the state line on this mid-century survey, dividing Stewart County, Georgia, from the Alabama bank. The settlement of Omaha sits east of the river, positioned near the mouth of Hannahatchee Creek. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Mill Creek, Buck Creek, and Bluff Creek, which drain the undulating terrain into the river valley.

Upriver on the Alabama side, the community of Holy Trinity is established near Snake Creek. The area’s geography is shaped by these riparian corridors, which influenced the location of historic rural centers like Loflin. While the primary mapping was conducted in the late 1950s, 1980s revisions documented in purple highlight changes in the woodland cover and the development of the river into Lake Eufaula, reflecting the transformation of this borderland from a free-flowing river system to a managed reservoir landscape.
