About this map

The Chattahoochee River forms the central spine of this borderland area, carving the prominent Smith Bend as it divides Alabama's Henry County from Georgia's Early and Clay counties. The landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Abbie Creek and Factory Cr, which feed the river through a network of smaller branches like Adams Br and Grimsley Mill Br. The settlement of Haleburg and the smaller community at Barnes anchor the Alabama side, where a grid of rural county roads connects legacy landmarks and family-operated sites.

Genealogists can find several burial grounds including Bethel Baptist Church Cem, Pleasant Grove Cem, and Sardis Cem, providing clear spatial context for local family histories. The presence of Coates Airport and Sawyer Farm Airport suggests a modern agricultural landscape that continues to utilize the flatlands above the river bluffs near River Hill. This survey captures the rural continuity of the region, where land divisions like t5n r29e meet the natural boundary of the river.
