About this map

Phenix City and its southern neighbor Girard dominate the northeastern corner of this survey, illustrating the urban landscape of eastern Alabama just before the mid-century. This region, where the Lee Co and Russell Co lines meet, shows a dense network of local institutions such as Mother Mary Mission, Central High Sch, and Idle Hour Park. The city's post-war infrastructure is evident through the presence of Martin Stadium and the Phenix City Memorial Hospital.

Beyond the city limits, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of rural settlements and industrial sites. To the south, the Central of Georgia railroad tracks lead toward Brickyard and Kaolin, signaling the importance of local clay and mineral resources. Numerous small country churches, including Uchee Hill Ch and Bethel Ch, anchor the countryside, while Cochgalechee Creek and Little Uchee Creek drain the undulating landscape, providing a clear record of the historical watercourses that shaped development in Russell County.
