2014 Map of Grangeburg

About this map

Grangeburg and the nearby community of Harmon anchor this landscape along the Alabama-Florida border in Houston County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hydrologic features, including the winding Cowarts Creek and several significant local ponds such as Indigo Pond and Long Pond. Genealogists will find substantial value in the mapping of several rural burial grounds, including Antioch Cem, Clayton Cem, and Friendship Cem, which often represent the only remaining physical evidence of earlier family homesteads. The naming of Bazemores Mill Br and Bazemores Mill Lake points to the historical importance of water-powered industry in this agricultural region, while numerous family-named roads like Sid Hughes Rd and Dock Lamb Rd trace the evolution of local property ownership and transit.
