About this map

Phenix City anchors this 1955 survey of the Alabama-Georgia borderlands, showing the city's mid-century expansion along the Central of Georgia rail line. The landscape transitions from the urbanized streets around Memorial Hospital and Martin Stadium to the rural hills of the Lee Co and Russell Co border. These outlying areas are dotted with local landmarks like Hebee Hill and numerous community centers, including Woodland Ch, Hillside Chapel, and Bethlehem Ch.

South and west of the city, the terrain is defined by the winding course of Little Uchee Creek and Cochgalechee Creek. Small settlements like Ladonia and the industrial activity near Brickyard reflect the region's diverse economic character. For those looking at local history, the map provides exact placements for several burial sites and schools, such as Evans Cem and Meadowlane School, alongside recreational spots like Moon Lake.
