About this map

Harmony and Hale anchor a rural landscape in Clarke County defined by a dense network of country roads and significant petroleum extraction. The 2012 topography shows a region where industrial activity is deeply integrated into the timbered terrain, evidenced by the Harmony Oil Field, Nancy Oil Field, and the Prairie Branch Oil Field. These operations are interspersed with established local communities like Dedwylder and Goodwater.

Genealogists will find numerous burial sites that serve as historical anchors for these settlements, including the Salem Cem, Goodwater Cem, and the McGowan Chapel Cem. The drainage pattern is dominated by the winding course of the Bogue Homo and Shubuta Cr, which are crossed by local landmarks such as Wilson Bridge. The map details the transition from traditional farming and timber areas into a more modern industrial energy corridor.
