2010 Map of Gallaway

About this map

Gallaway serves as a central hub for this portion of Fayette County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Loosahatchie River and its numerous tributaries. The map reveals an exceptionally dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Hopewell Cemetery, Mount Sinai Cemetery, and the Hillard Nolley Cemetery, indicating deep-rooted genealogical history across the rural countryside. These sites are scattered along a network of local thoroughfares like Witherington Rd and Braden Rd, which link old homesteads to the river valley. The presence of water management features, including the W W Wilder Dam and Greshams Dam, illustrates how the Black Ankle Creek and Wilder Creek drainage basins have been modified to create recreational or agricultural reservoirs like Greshams Lake. This topographical record provides a clear view of the area's rural character and the enduring presence of historic community landmarks.
