2024 Map of Madras

About this map

Newnan and Palmetto anchor the north and south ends of this landscape, which is increasingly shaped by modern infrastructure yet remains dense with its ancestral roots. The area is defined by a high concentration of family and community burial grounds, from the Arnold - Sims Cem near Madras to the Jane Posey Cem further east. These landmarks, along with many rural congregations like Ebenezer Baptist Cem and Cokes Chapel Cem, offer a rich record of the local families who settled between the creek valleys of White Oak Creek and Shoal Creek.
