The district has never been comprehensively surveyed. It is bounded on the north and northwest by the Walter F. George Lock and Dam, on the west by the Chattahoochee River (technically the uppermost end of the George W. Andrews Lake), on the south and east by Cemochechobee Creek, and on the northeast by a low rise bordering the alluvial river bottoms. The district is located within Lots 299, 300, 301 and 302 of Georgia's 7th District. It is within a triangular area whose corners are 85000110, 83900070, and 84509920 (UTM, KGS: Fort Gaines and Fort Gaines NE, USGS 7.5' Quadrangles). The majority of the district is owned by the United States. The area to the south and east of the abandoned railroad is privately owned.
