About this map

Wills Crossroads serves as a central junction in this rural landscape of eastern Henry County, where small agricultural settlements are connected by a network of county roads. The terrain is defined by the drainage basins of Abbie Creek and its many tributaries, such as Little Abbie Creek and Vann Mill Creek. Water management is a significant feature of the local economy and geography, evidenced by numerous named impoundments including Mathison Lake, Tillis Pond, and Messick Pond.

Genealogists will find substantial value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, including Saint Peters Cemetery near the western edge and Old Zion Cemetery further east. The southern portion of the area is anchored by the community of Union, while the Abbeville Municipal Airport marks the transition toward the city to the west. This 2011 record preserves the names of family-held water features like Moneys Pond and Starlings Pond, reflecting long-standing local land use.
