1955 Map of Phenix City

About this map

The Alabama-Georgia borderlands near Phenix City and Girard are characterized by the winding path of Little Uchee Creek and the industrial activity centered at Brickyard and Kaolin. This mid-century survey reveals a landscape transitioning from rural hamlets to suburban development, with numerous local landmarks such as Mother Mary Mission, Camp Parkman, and the Phenix City Airport. The area is heavily marked by its social and educational infrastructure, including Bethlehem School and Carmichael School, along with a high density of rural churches like Woodland Ch and Sunderland Ch. The Central of Georgia railroad corridor anchors the eastern edge of the map, while family histories are preserved at the Friendship Cem and Evans Cem.
