2011 Map of Grady

About this map

Patsaliga Creek and its many tributaries, including Weaver Mill Creek and Fannin Mill Creek, define the drainage patterns of this rural Alabama landscape. The area is characterized by scattered farming communities and historical family sites, such as Wiggins Farms and Grady. Local history is anchored by several family burying grounds, including Fannin Cemetery, Garner Cemetery, and Carter Cemetery, which offer valuable data points for genealogists. The road network connects small hubs like Helicon, Bradleyton, and Briar Hill, often following the natural ridges between watercourses like Dry Creek and Olustee Creek. Notable transit points such as Salter Bridge over Clayton Branch reflect the infrastructure supporting this agricultural region. The map reveals a transition from the higher ground at Collier Hill and Carter Hill down toward the creek bottoms, where the names of old routes like Smiley Ferry Rd hint at earlier river-crossing methods in the county.
