About this map

Ashford serves as a primary hub for this portion of Houston County, with its residential grid radiating from the Ashford Post Office and Ashford City Cemetery. The landscape transitions from these developed blocks into a network of agricultural lands defined by small water bodies and family-named landmarks. The drainage of Cedar Creek, Mill Creek, and Rocky Creek dictates the placement of rural homesteads and roads such as Bruner Mill Rd and Jack Bruner Rd.

To the southeast, the settlements of Pansey, Ardilla, and Dupree anchor the rural landscape, connected by the arterial route of Highway 84. This 2011 survey documents a mix of local infrastructure and private stewardship, evidenced by features like Bruce Blaum Lake, Garners Pond, and Rinrag Farm Dam. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating numerous community burial grounds, including Union Springs Cemetery, Liberty Cemetery, and the Antioch Cemetery near Antioch Church.
