About this map

Montrose serves as the primary hub in this southwest corner of Henry County, appearing as a concentrated grid of streets including W 8th St and California Avenue. The surrounding rural landscape is defined by the significant reservoir of Montrose Lake, which is fed and drained by several prominent watercourses including Deepwater Creek, Brushy Creek, and Granddaddy Creek. The area's settlement history is preserved through scattered rural communities like Delmar and La Due, along with numerous burial grounds such as Hopewell Cemetery, Vickers Cemetery, and Saint Ludgers Cemetery.

The terrain is divided by a network of county roads, with SW Highway HH and SW 1201 Rd providing major access routes through the townships. The map illustrates a landscape where agricultural parcels are interspersed with small tributaries like Camp Creek and Bear Creek. The presence of the Bear Creek Cemetery near its namesake stream highlights the long-standing connection between local families and these specific drainage basins.
