About this map

The Chattahoochee River carves the border between Georgia and Alabama on this modern survey, where the river valley meets the rolling uplands of Stewart County. This landscape is defined by its rural settlements and family estates, most notably the Upper Bradley Place and Heard Place, which reflect long-standing land divisions in this part of the South. The small community of Union serves as a local landmark in the southern reaches of the map, situated near the confluence of several local drainages.

Historians and genealogists will find several burial sites recorded across the terrain, including the Irena Methodist Church Cem and the Mathis Cem, which are tucked away from the primary thoroughfares like Omaha Union Rd. The hydrology of the area is complex, featuring a network of creeks such as Hannahatchee Cr and Hichitee Cr that feed into the river system. These waterways and the names associated with them, like Lonesome Duck Lake, highlight the enduring connection between the local families and the geography of the Chattahoochee valley.
