About this map

The borderlands of Alabama and Georgia are defined here by the winding course of the Chattahoochee River, where Goat Rock Lake and Lake Oliver create a significant hydraulic landscape between Lee, Harris, and Muscogee counties. In the western portion of the map, the community of Smiths Station serves as a residential anchor, while the suburban expansion of Phenix City and Columbus is evident in the burgeoning neighborhoods of Monterey Heights and Green Island Hills.

Genealogists and local historians will find several established burial grounds, including Philadelphia Cem, Mount Zion Cem, and the modern Lake View Memory Gardens. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous tributaries such as Standing Boy Creek and Hospilika Creek, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that influenced road placement, including the extensive Lee County road network. Small, privately named water bodies like Weights Lakes and Jordan Company Lake reflect the transition from rural land use to residential and recreational development.
