    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YS.2ADI/3108.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Your welcome, Shirley! Good to be back...You have brought forth an item that is rare and that I too would be interested in, a pre-1963 Henry County, Alabama map!! If anybody out there has one of these, please let it be known. Okay??? Another older name for the lake is Lake Chattahoochee used in the 1960s soon after the "backwaters" were formed. I was up in age before people in Henry County called it Lake Eufaula--just the backwaters. The fact about Chattahoochee meaning "Painted rock or stone" comes from FLOWING THROUGH TIME, by Lynn Willoughby--an excellent read for anyone interested in the river culture that existed from Columbus to Apalachicola.
