2018 Map of Graham

About this map

The Little Tallapoosa River meanders across this rural borderland where Alabama and Georgia meet, carving a valley through the complex topography of Cleburne, Randolph, Carroll, and Heard counties. The settlement of Graham sits at a central crossroads, surrounded by a landscape defined by small watercourses like Shoal Cr and Knight Br. This 2018 survey reveals a territory where local history is anchored by numerous small burial grounds and rural congregations, including the Bethena Church Cem and the Old Shiloh Church Cem. To the southeast, the terrain rises toward Blackjack Mtn near the community of Ephesus, where the Ephesus Cem serves the local population. The map captures a quiet, interconnected network of county roads that link smaller localities such as Hawk and Sewell, illustrating the enduring rural character of this multi-county region even into the modern era.
