About this map

Patsaliga Creek and Olustee Creek define the drainage of this rural landscape where the boundaries of Montgomery, Crenshaw, and Pike counties converge. The terrain is a network of small family-named watercourses like Weaver Mill Creek and Fannin Mill Creek, suggesting the historical importance of small-scale milling in these communities. Scattered settlements such as Grady, Helicon, and Shady Grove are connected by a dense web of secondary roads like Smiley Ferry Rd and Ramer Grady Rd. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family burial grounds, including Fannin Cem, Garner Cem, and Carter Cem, which are preserved alongside local landmarks like Collier Hill and Carter Hill. The proximity of Vinson Ponds and various smaller basins like Mays Pond and Petrey Pond illustrates the persistent role of water management in this agricultural region.
