About this map

Phenix City anchors the northeastern corner of this Russell County landscape, where the Central of Georgia railroad cuts a diagonal path toward the settlement of Seale. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Uchee Creek and its many tributaries, creating a complex network of ridges and bottoms. To the east, the boundary of the Fort Benning Military Reservation meets the Alabama-Georgia state line, encompassing the site of Fort Mitchell.

Rural life in the mid-20th century is evidenced by a high density of community landmarks, from the Sandfort Sch and Kite Sch to numerous houses of worship like Mt Hebron Ch and St Johns Ch. The map captures the infrastructure of the era through labeled crossings such as Hichittee Bridge and Mott Bridge, as well as industrial markers like the Brickyard near the river. These features provide a clear view of the area's social and physical geography before later modern development altered the rural landscape.
