2020 Map of Melton

About this map

Melton sits at the northern edge of a landscape defined by the drainage of Limestone Cr and the Big German Cr. This modern survey reveals a complex network of private and municipal interests, anchored by the Greensboro Municipal Airport and the expansive State Cattle Ranch. The terrain is marked by numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Jerusalem Cem, Saint Pauls Cem, and Pickens Cem, which offer significant touchpoints for genealogical research in this part of Hale County. The western border follows a sharp meander of the river at Duffys Bend and Limestone Creek Bar, where the county line separates Greene and Hale. Smaller water bodies like Massey Lake and Jimmy Seale Lake are scattered across the interior, reflecting the agricultural and recreational character of the region.
