2015 Map of Montpelier

About this map

Walkers Gin and the small agricultural crossroads of Cairo and Beasley anchor this rural landscape in Clay County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses including Sewayiah Creek, Line Cr, and Prairie Cr, which carve through the land between the rises of Reid Hill. For those tracing family roots, the map is a significant record of local burial grounds and community focal points, including Saint Paul Cem, Old Montpelier Cem, and Cousin Cem. The settlement at Montpelier is particularly well-documented with its proximity to the Lower Prairie Creek Cem. This area, dominated by farming and timber interests, shows a traditional Southern pattern of small-scale townships linked by a intricate system of local routes like Dixie Rd and Palestine Rd.
