2011 Map of Geiger

About this map

Geiger serves as the primary settlement within this West Alabama landscape, situated near the Alabama-Mississippi border. The terrain is defined by a dense network of meandering waterways, including Bodka Creek, Hatchet Creek, and Factory Creek, which weave through the agricultural and timbered lands. Numerous small impoundments and named water bodies such as Williams Lake, Liars Lake, and Sibley Pond illustrate the local reliance on managed water resources. Historically significant sites for genealogists include Souls Chapel Cemetery and the extensive holdings of the Sumter Farm and Stock Company, which maintained its own infrastructure including the Sumter Farms and Stock Company Inc Airport. The map also documents modern industrial presence with the Emelle Treatment Facility, providing a clear look at how land use in Sumter County has evolved between traditional farming and contemporary utility needs.
