About this map

Albany and the surrounding Gentry County countryside are defined by the winding course of the Grand River and its numerous tributaries. This survey captures a rural landscape where established towns like Gentryville and smaller settlements such as Evona and Whitten are connected by a dense network of county roads. The topography is intricately detailed, showing the drainage patterns of Thompson Br and Jones Br as they feed into the larger river valley.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds across the townships, including Shepherd Cemetery, Davidson Cemetery, and the Sandville Cemetery. The map also illustrates the interface between the southern edge of the county seat and the agricultural hinterland, including local landmarks like Curt Lee Lake and the convergence of routes at Albany Junction.
