2011 Map of Abbeville West

About this map

Abbeville and the nearby settlement of Graball anchor this 2011 survey of eastern Alabama, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of the East Fork Choctawhatchee River. The topography is marked by a complex network of creeks and branches, including Poor Creek, Skippers Creek, and Watson Creek, which carve through the terrain between local landmarks like the Abbeville Lookout Tower. Local history and genealogy are anchored by sites such as Danzey Cemetery and Roeville Cemetery, while the modern infrastructure is represented by the Henry County Hospital Airport and the major transit corridor of Great Southern Way. Smaller water bodies like Jennys Lake and Griggs Pond provide localized points of interest among the many county roads that crisscross the rural stretches of Henry County, revealing a persistent pattern of southern agricultural and woodland settlement.
