2017 Map of Albany South

About this map

The Grand River and its complex network of tributaries, including the East Fork Grand River and Stillhouse Br, dictate the topography of this Gentry County landscape. Toward the north, the southern outskirts of Albany give way to rural townships where small settlements like Evona, Whitten, and Albany Junction are connected by a grid of county roads and state highways. This 2017 survey reveals a deeply rooted rural community, evidenced by numerous family and community burial grounds such as Shepherd Cem, Sandville Cem, and Davidson Cem. The southern portion of the map is anchored by the historic settlement of Gentryville along the banks of the river. The concentration of cemeteries and small named localities offers a precise look at the geography of this agricultural region, where the water system of creeks like Jones Br and Brushy Cr remains the primary natural framework for local property lines and road placements.
