1955 Map of Phenix City

About this map

Phenix City serves as the urban anchor for this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by the convergence of the Central of Georgia railroad and the winding paths of Cochgalechee Creek and Little Uchee Creek. The map documents the city's westward expansion toward Ladonia, while rural Lee and Russell counties remain dotted with namesake landmarks such as Woodland Ch, Uchee Hill Ch, and Friendship Ch Cem. Of particular interest to local historians is the Brickyard area in the southeast, where the industrial presence of the Brickyard Sch and various clay-associated labels suggest the local economy of the era. The mapping of Mother Mary Mission and several historically significant schools, including Carmichael Sch and Westside Sch, provides a detailed record of the community's social and educational infrastructure during a period of steady post-war development.
