Historic Map - Columbus, GA - 1886
Description
Perspective map of Columbus, Ga., county seat of Muscogee County, 1886. H. Wellge. Beck & Pauli Lith. Co.
Perspective map of Columbus, Georgia, published in H., Wellge in 1886. Founded in 1828 and named for Christopher Columbus, the city of Columbus was well situated for navigation down the Chattahoochee River and was along the last stretch of the Federal Road before entering Alabama. Once the railroads arrived in the 1850s, textile mills began to be established along the river and the city became an important industrial city as well as an agricultural center.
Columbus was second only to Richmond in the manufacture of supplies for the Confederate Army during the Civil War. The site of the "Last Land Battle in the War Between the States" is commemorated here with an historic marker. On Easter Sunday, April 16th, 1865, Union troops attacked the city, unaware that Lee had surrendered to Grant and of the assassination of President Lincoln. A needless battle left many of the city's industrial buildings destroyed, and lives lost. The "Battle of Columbus" was the last land battle of the Civil War.
This map captures the city as it appeared twenty-one years after the Civil War, following its vigorous approach to Reconstruction, with many factories revived and rapid growth that outpaced its original plan.
A small inset map showing "Columbus' Transportation Facilities" and their routes is featured in the lower left portion of the map. Inset illustrations of the following businesses and sites appear in the upper and lower margins of the map.
