About this map

Smiths Station serves as a primary settlement point in this region of eastern Alabama, situated just west of the Chattahoochee River. The landscape is defined by the significant hydraulic engineering along the river, including Goat Rock Dam, Smiths Dam, and Jordan Company Dam, which together manage the flow into expansive reservoirs like Lake Oliver. These water bodies are flanked by several family-named landmarks and recreational sites, such as Walts Landing and the Green Island Hills neighborhood.

Local history is well-represented through numerous burial grounds like Philadelphia Cemetery, Mount Zion Cemetery, and Bethel Mission Cemetery. For those interested in 21st-century land use, the map documents a mix of traditional residential patterns at Carriage Hill alongside modern specialized features like the Lee County International Raceway. The terrain is also marked by numerous smaller lakes and dams, including Wrights Lakes and Lake Clarmar, showing the intensive development of water resources throughout the watershed.
