About this map

Stockbridge and McDonough anchor this detailed study of central Henry County, showing a landscape defined by rapid residential expansion and well-established transit corridors. The development patterns follow the primary road networks, while the rural heritage of the area is still visible in the numerous family and community burial grounds, such as the Hudson-Pair-Steele Cem and Cleveland Cem.

Hydrological features like Walnut Creek, Birch Creek, and the Tussahiga River carve through the terrain, supporting several named reservoirs including Steele Lake and Lake Foster. The map provides a precise look at local communities like Flippen and Blacksville, alongside the southern reach toward Locust Grove. Genealogists will find the preservation of small landmarks like Walkers Bridge and Weems Cem particularly useful for locating ancestral homesteads.
