2014 Map of Greensboro

About this map

Greensboro serves as the focal point of this Black Belt landscape, where the town’s established grid gives way to a network of rural roads and family-named cemeteries. The area is defined by a dense concentration of burial grounds such as Oakwood Cem, Greensboro Cem, and the Jenkins Place Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in Hale County. The surrounding terrain is punctuated by numerous managed water bodies, including Gross Lake, Morrison Brothers Lake, and several numbered reservoirs like Lewis Lawson Lake Number Four. To the south, the small community of Rosemary sits near the headwaters of Whitsitt Cr. The drainage patterns of Colwell Cr and Bills Br carve through the landscape, illustrating the traditional rural land divisions that have persisted into the twenty-first century.
