About this map

Uchee Creek serves as a central artery for this Russell County landscape, winding eastward toward the Chattahoochee River. The settlement of Seale sits at the junction of the Central of Georgia RR, which provided a critical link for the transport of goods and passengers across the interior. Near the river, the presence of Fort Mitchell and the Fort Benning Mil. Res. boundary highlights the area's strategic importance.

A network of river crossings, such as Nuckolls Bridge and Perrys Ford, connected farming communities like Nuckolls and Flournoy. The industry of the era is evidenced by Brickyard and Burdock Landing, where river-borne commerce met the local rail lines. In the more rural stretches, landmarks such as Sand Fort and the Kite School provide valuable points of reference for genealogists tracking family movements before the mid-century.
