About this map

Garrett Grove and Hopper form the primary points of settlement in this rural Lee County landscape during the early 21st century. The terrain is defined by a complex network of waterways, including the winding course of Big Creek and Flat Fork Creek, which feed into localized bodies of water such as Whistling Lake and Walnut Lake. The area's social history is recorded through its many family and community burial grounds, which are distributed across the sectioned farm plots.

Genealogists will find a concentration of local history at the Saint Paul Cemetery, Prospect Cemetery, and Long Cane Cemetery. To the north, the Garrett Cemetery and Taylor Cemetery sit near the banks of Big Creek, illustrating how early settlements and their associated landmarks followed the natural drainage patterns of the Delta. The gridded road system, including Lee Road 907 and Pleasant Valley Rd, provides clear access to these traditional sites.
