2019 Map of Gallaway

About this map

The Loosahatchie River Canal and Little Cypress Cr Canal dominate the central landscape of this Fayette County region, reflecting an engineered drainage system designed to manage the low-lying wetlands of the Loosahatchie basin. The settlement of Gallaway sits at a crossroads near the western edge, while the town of Oakland anchors the southern boundary. This area is remarkably dense with family and community burial grounds, providing a significant resource for genealogical research. Locations like Poplar Springs Cem, Union Hill Cem, and Scotts Chapel Cem are scattered throughout the rural landscape, often situated near small drainages like Cane Cr or Beaver Cr. In the north, Braden serves as a local hub, while the presence of W W Wilder Lake and Greshams Lake marks the transition into the more varied hydrology of the southern reaches toward Griffen.
