1955 Map of Phenix City

About this map

Phenix City serves as the focal point of this mid-century landscape, positioned where the industrial rail lines of the Central of Georgia meet the residential expansion of Girard and Golden Acres. The map reveals a distinct urban-rural divide as the dense grid of the city gives way to the winding course of Cochgalechee Creek and the scattered settlements of Ladonia and Brickyard. This era shows a significant concentration of communication infrastructure, including the TV Tower (WRBL) and TV Tower (WDAK), reflecting the region's mid-century growth. To the south and west, the landscape is defined by traditional community anchors such as Friendship Ch and Uchee Hill Ch, while industrial sites like Kaolin and the Brickyard Sch highlight the local economic drivers of the period. The presence of numerous family and church burial grounds, such as Evans Cem and Bethlehem Cem, provides significant genealogical value for the area.
