About this map

Sumterville and the surrounding agricultural lands of northern Sumter County are defined by a complex network of creeks and family homesteads. The terrain is deeply etched by watercourses such as Jones Cr, Turkey Cr, and Abe Br, which dictate the placement of early settlements and road networks. Smaller communities like McCainville and Parker are centers of local history, while the southern edge of the map shows the northern approach to Livingston.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial grounds across the landscape. Notable sites include the Brown Family Cem, McInnis Cem, and the uniquely named Eskeridge Pettigrew Cem near Parker. Historical infrastructure is also visible through the naming of Hayes Ferry Rd, hinting at former river crossings and the early transit routes of the region before the modernization of the local corridor.
